A preliminary report from the NTSB indicates a lack of fuel was the cause of the plane crash in Cambridge last week.
The owner of the plane, who was not identified in the report, was killed when the single-engine Beechcraft K35 crashed near Cambridge Municipal Airport last Thursday.

A total of 18 gallons of fuel were recovered from the main tank.
However, the controls had been switched to the auxiliary tank, which had just one gallon of fuel.
Experts say that can cause “fuel starvation,” which happens when there is a small amount of fuel on board, but it can’t reach the engine.
