Sheriff Eric Craddock told NewsChannel 5 that a small single-engine aircraft crashed near Cottontown on Wednesday.
Officials said the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft and did not survive.
Emergency crews are on site and officials are working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), who will likely assume the lead role in the investigation moving forward.
We will provide more details as we learn more.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
