MONROE, La. (AP) - A federal agency has released a report on a fatal Jan. 19 small airplane crash in north Louisiana.
The News-Star reports that the preliminary report released Thursday by the National Transportation Safety Board does not specify a cause for the crash that killed Carl L. Hill, 68, of Newellton.
There were no witnesses to the crash of Hill’s Air Tractor AT-802A agricultural airplane in Tensas Parish. A motorist discovered the wreckage along a roadway next to a field Hill had been hired to spray.
The report said power lines and a utility pole in the western edge of the field were damaged, and a debris path stretched from that area to the wreckage of the plane. Hill was the only occupant of the plane.
The plane was registered to Tensas Flying Service LLC, a company owned by Hill.
