SHERMAN, TX - The Texas Highway Patrol is investigating a small plane crash in Grayson County this morning.

Officials say the private plane carrying two people went down on its way from Dorchester to the Sherman Municipal Airport while doing "touch and go" drills.

Both the pilot, James Finney, and his passenger, Kenton Simmons, were taken to Texoma Medical Center. The plane went down in an open field near FM 697 and Ida Road. Responders had to cut through thick brush to get to the plane.

Troopers say they are waiting for federal agents to investigate.

"At this point we're just holding scene, just making sure that no one tampers with the plane until the FAA gets here," Trooper David Taylor said.

Officials say the pilot may be taken to Dallas due to a head injury.
