INDIANA, Pa. -- The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a small plane crash that injured three people Sunday night at Jimmy Stewart Airport in Indiana County.

FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said the single-engine Piper Cherokee owned by Mark Goldinger of Dayton, Armstrong County, was trying to return to the airport shortly after taking off when it crashed. Goldlinger was piloting the plane at the time of the accident.

Officials said Goldinger was attempting to land but was unable to do so because of the fog.

Airport manager Todd Heming said visibility was low at 6 p.m. when the plane missed its approach and crashed into a hillside about three-quarters of a mile north of the airport.

Heming said the plane had taken off from the airport earlier in the day.

Goldinger and two others on board were taken to Conemaugh Medical Center in Johnstown.

Hospital officials said Goldinger is in fair condition. The names of two other passengers and their conditions are not immediately available.
