On August 1, 2025, at about 1330 local time, a privately-registered Piper J-5C Cub Cruiser, N28151, sustained substantial damage when it impacted trees and terrain near Rochester, New York. One occupant sustained fatal injuries, and the second occupant sustained serious injuries. The local personal flight originated from the Frederick Douglass International Airport (ROC/KROC), Rochester, New York.
The FAA reported that the aircraft "impacted terrain after reporting an engine problem."
A witness reported that she "saw a small plane flying very low, and it was descending super fast, and then it just disappeared, and we didn’t really hear a loud bang or anything."
The airplane came to rest inverted on a road. There was no post crash fire. All four corners of the aircraft were present at the accident site. Both wings and tail remained attached to the fuselage. An undetermined amount of fuel leak was reported.
Local news reported that the pilot and registered owner was the one who died in the accident. However, the FAA AIN reported that the passenger is the person who died in the accident.

A search of the public FAA airman records brought back two matches to the fatally injured occupant's/registered owner name. The first individual was issued a private pilot certificate with a single-engine land aircraft certificate in 1963. The second individual was issued a student pilot certificate in 2024.
