I-285 plane crash: Aircraft will be moved to Griffin

Hours after a plane crashed on I-285 at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and killed all four passengers on board, Eric Alleyne with the NTSB spoke with members of the press Friday afternoon.

Alleyne said the aircraft will be moved to a site in Griffin so officials can continue their investigation. It will take about two weeks to reconstruct the wreckage and up to six months before a report is complete.

"At this time," he said, "we don't know the cause of the accident."

Alleyne said authorities will look at numerous things during the course of the investigation, including the aircraft's maintenance history.
