Mechanical Problems May Have Caused New Jersey Aviation Accident

Jason Snyder, 33, and his 34-year-old Jennifer Snyder, were critically injured after their Beechcraft Sundowner Model 23 airplane crashed in Linden, New Jersey, on December 21, 2008. According to this news report, the aircraft went down near Linden Avenue and Pleasant Street. Eyewitnesses told officials they saw the plane flying low before it crashed into some trees not far from a small generate aviation airport.

Both Jason and Jennifer Snyder were reportedly able to crawl out of the aircraft that had caught fire. They were transported to a Newark hospital where they are said to be in critical condition. They are expected to recover from their injuries. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials are trying to look into whether the airplane crashed because of mechanical problems or inclement weather. The pilot, Jason Snyder, had apparently reported mechanical problems shortly before the airplane crash occurred.

If this aviation accident was caused by a product defect in the aircraft, then the manufacturers of those defective products may be held liable for the accident and injuries caused to the Snyders.
