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.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
