N428JD Beechjet (1986) Dewberry Air Corporation, two crew, one passenger - A corporate jet hydroplaned while landing at the Macon Downtown Airport Tuesday morning, crossed an embankment and Ocmulgee East Boulevard and crashed in a wooded area, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
The jet, a Beech 400, attempted a landing at about 10:05 a.m., said Lt. Sean DeFoe.
“There was a heavy downpour of rain that caused a pocket of water to stand on the roadway,” he said.
The pilots engaged the brakes, but “just like you would do driving a car, the brakes wouldn’t work,” DeFoe said.
The pilot was trapped and had to be cut out of the plane by firefighters. The co-pilot sustained minor injuries. The pilot, co-pilot and a passenger were taken to The Medical Center of Central Georgia for evaluation, he said.
