According to Fox News' latest report, the airplane that crashed was a single-engine Cessna 182.
The passenger plane crashed around 1:00 p.m. local time in a wooded location between two homes in the town of Stow.
CBS News reported that the area where the Cessna plane was found is near the Minute Man Air Field.
Three of the passengers were able to leave the airplane by themselves. The other two occupants needed assistance from responders.
"Everybody started talking, asking for help, yelling, and I just started thinking, help the first person in front of me," said Tye Moracy, one of the people who helped the victims.
The good samaritan said that one of the victims was stuck to a seatbelt, while another one has a sharp piece of metal close to their body.
Another victim had a hard time breathing during the incident. Tye shared that there were instances when he almost cried, saying that he started thinking of positive things to clear his mind so he can help.
These include where the plane landed and that the pilot was able to direct the aircraft between the two houses. Moracy said that despite the incident, he felt lucky about a lot of things during the airplane crash.
"The emergency people were showing up and it's like, thank God, I was so relieved that there were more hands," added Moracy.
