The pilot in a single-engine plane crash remains hospitalized Monday afternoon, police said.

An investigation is continuing into the Sunday plane crash in the Town of Union Vale near Sky Acres Airport, the second in less than a month.

Police said the pilot was in the trauma center at the hospital Monday, but did not have more information on his condition.

Hanlon said the crash happened shortly after takeoff, around 2:53 p.m.

Sheriff's Office Sgt. Michael Dampf said Romley was conscious when responders arrived and was speaking with them.
