CNN, citing a source, said that the severity of his injuries is not yet known. This aircraft is a Bombardier Challenger 650 business jet.
This is happening at a time when a severe snowstorm is moving towards the US, with temperatures below zero in Maine and visibility reduced to very low due to light snowfall.
