The cause of the crash is still under investigation – as well as
there is no word on the status of the pilot. WLUC said emergency
responders had been dispatched to the incident scene. 

“Emergency responders are on scene, searching for the pilot,
with more crews expected to arrive by daylight. Poor cell phone
connectivity in the very rural area is hindering communication
efforts,” said WLUC.
