Authorities say small plane crashes in western Ohio field

ARCANUM, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a small plane has crashed into a field in rural western Ohio. There was no immediate word on its occupants.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the crash was reported early this afternoon in Arcanum, which is some 35 miles northwest of Dayton.

FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro says the plane was a single-engine Piper PA-11 aircraft and that it crashed for unknown reasons.

He had no information on the pilot and any possible passengers.

The Darke County sheriff’s office says it has no information to release pending reports from investigators at the scene.
