CHERRY RIDGE TOWNSHIP -- Investigators say a plane crash at an airport in Wayne County earlier this year was pilot error.

The National Transportation Safety Board released that ruling Sunday, saying the pilot overshot the runway at Cherry Ridge Airport near Honesdale.

On May 25, the plane went down an embankment at the end of the runway, crashing nose-first into a swamp.

NTSB investigators said a witness reported that the pilot landed downwind and about three-quarters of the way down the runway.

The pilot wasn't hurt.
