Ohio State Highway Patrol investigating small plane crash, pilot dead
Ohio State Highway Patrol is currently investigating a small plane crash that occurred in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The incident involved a 1973 Cessna 310Q fixed-wing multi-engine plane and took place just after 5 p.m. in Mill Township, Ohio.
The New Philadelphia Post of the Ohio State Patrol reported that the plane had taken off from Harry Clever Field Airport at 4:40 p.m. and crashed in a farm field in Mill Township at 5:08 p.m. Unfortunately, the pilot, who was the only occupant of the aircraft, did not survive the crash.
Although the Cessna 310Q could accommodate up to six individuals, there were no other passengers on board at the time of the accident. The cause of the crash and the identity of the pilot are still under investigation, as confirmed by a highway patrol spokesperson.
Authorities have disclosed that there were no distress calls made prior to the plane going down, primarily due to the absence of an air traffic control tower at the small airport. Both the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have been notified of the incident and will be conducting their own investigations.
The NTSB and FAA have yet to respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter. As more details emerge from the investigation, updates will be provided. Stay tuned for further developments on this tragic aviation incident.
