DEER CREEK TWP., Pa. -
An hour and a half long search in northern Mercer County was called off Friday after no signs were found of following a small plane that was reported to have gone down near Interstate 79.
Authorities received the report shortly before noon on Friday. The caller told dispatchers that the plane went down behind trees north of Lake Wilhelm in Deer Creek Township.
One witness reports seeing a plane flying very low to the surface of the lake, but they did not see the plane crash.
A helicopter that searched from above found no traces of wreckage.
Authorities also contacted officials at local airports, who had no reports of missing aircraft.
The search was called off just before 1:30 p.m.
