New York State Police confirmed one person died and one person was critically injured after a small plane crash on 1-684 on Thursday night.

The FAA says the single-engine Tecnam P-2008 went down around 6:35 p.m.

The plane -- which crashed in Harrison near the New York-Connecticut border -- had taken off from Linden, New Jersey, according to Flight Aware.

Sources confirmed to News 12 the person who died was 32-year-old Yakov Friedman, of Monsey.

The pilot radioed that he was having engine trouble and tried to land at Westchester County Airport before the crash.

"He passed over the Tappan Zee Bridge, came straight up and went north of the airport a little bit probably to line up with runway 1-6 which goes north and south,” said aviation expert Sal Lagonia. “At some point he contacted air traffic control he told them he had an engine problem and would try to make the airport and obviously he fell slightly short of the airport."

The crash also caused a gas spill, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

The NTSB says its investigators are expected to arrive at the scene on Friday.

The NTSB urges anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact the agency at witness@ntsb.gov.

State police say all lanes of I-684 reopened overnight following the crash.
