Citing a source, CNN reported that the extent of their injuries is not known.

The plane is a Bombardier Challenger 650 business jet.

This comes as a massive snowstorm moves into the US, with temperatures below freezing in Maine and light snow causing very low visibility.

According to CNN citing federal records, it was noted that the plane is registered to a limited liability corporation in Houston.

After the incident, the airport was closed.
