PERRYVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say one person has been killed in a plane crash, the second aircraft accident reported in Arkansas on Thursday.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said law enforcement officers reported the fatality and have confirmed a debris field from a small aircraft about four miles south of Perryville. Lunsford said the site is near a forest and difficult to access.
The Ouachita National Forest is located south of Perryville. Lunsford says few other details were immediately available about the crash.
To the north, another airplane crashed near Clinton in Van Buren County about 4:45 p.m.
Lunsford says the two people aboard the experimental aircraft were hurt after the plane went down shortly after taking off from the Clinton Municipal Airport.
The FAA is investigating the cause of that crash.
