One of the two people seriously hurt in a plane crash Friday afternoon at a Cape Cod airfield has died in the hospital, police said Sunday, identifying both people involved.
Their small plane, a single-engine Mooney M20J, crashed short of Runway 25 at Falmouth Airpark around 3:10 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration had said.
The man, who was flying, was 83-year-old Carl Willis. He was pronounced dead after being taken to Falmouth Hospital, according to Massachusetts State Police. The woman was identified as Candace Oldman, 70, who suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital.
Willis and Oldman were returning from Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts, after a day trip with other couples, who'd taken their own planes.
