Maybe N7ET?

If so, it looks like it had just arrived from Saranac Lake. The crash site was off the departure end of runway 21, which it had approached a few moments earlier, so possibly a go-around gone bad?

According to commercial ADS-B data (so take it with a grain of salt) they were fairly high on downwind to base and still above the 3.5° papi glidepath, with a pretty good rate of descent on final. It could have been an unstabilized approach or a long landing, but nothing very overt from the data.

Glad they made it out relatively okay.

I was also thinking possible fuel exhaustion if they were not full when they left Saranac Lake. Got back to 6B6 on fumes and had to go around. (all speculation of course)

“A Cessna 182J Skylane (N7ET) crashed in a wooded area in between two houses, coming to a rest next to a backyard play-set, in Stow, Massachusetts. The crash site is to the south side of the Minute Man airfield at 181 Taylor Rd. N7ET took off from Lake Placid (KLPC) at 14:46 UTC and at 17:00 UTC was on approach to runway 21 at Minute Man Airfield (6B6) just prior to the crash. N7ET was returning to 6B6 after a 6B6-KLPC trip earlier in the day.

From the LiveATC recording: Around 17:00 UTC N7ET reports crossing mid-field for runway 21 at Minute Man airfield, and reports the sock at a crosswind. At 17:02 N7ET calls left base (last audible call on the recording from N7ET). ADSB data shows N7ET on final at about 17:03 UTC. At 17:12 another pilot is heard looking for possible wreckage, broken trees or smoke. Nothing was initially visible except for a fire truck possibly responding. At 17:18 someone reported "It looked like the guy was doing a go around and then he just disappeared". At 17:24 MedFlights are heard calling inbound to the airfield.

The three occupants survived with serious injuries and the aircraft was destroyed. No-one was injured on the ground, a resident nearby initially assisted with rescue. The resident reported the smell of fuel, but no smoke or fire. Calls to 911 were received around 17:06 UTC.”
