1 Person Dies In Plane Crash Out Of Minn.
MILFORD, Iowa (AP) -- One person has died in the crash of a small plane near Milford in northwest Iowa.
The Iowa State Patrol tells KTIV-TV that the single-engine plane crashed about 3 p.m. Wednesday in southern Dickinson County. One person was found dead at the crash site.
Police didn't release his name until relatives could be notified.
One area resident says he heard a plane flying low nearby, followed by what sounded like the engine shutting off, then a crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration lists the plane's owner as Geary D. Gearn of Hereford, Texas. KAMR-TV in Amarillo, Texas, reports that the plane was flying from Minnesota to Amarillo.
