On November 2, 2026, at about 1258 local time, a Cessna 172N Skyhawk, N228CJ, registered to Splashin LLC, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Orchard Lake near Orchard Lake Village, Michigan. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The flight originated from Oakland County International Airport (PTK/KPTK), Pontiac, Michigan, at 1217.
Preliminary information suggests the airplane was attempting a takeoff from from the lake when it aborted the takeoff and the left wing dipped into the water, severing it.
