Officials at site of small plane crash in south-central Iowa


LAMONI, Iowa (AP) - Federal aviation officials say they have documents showing two people were aboard a small plane that crashed Thursday in south-central Iowa.

The Federal Aviation Administration tells KCCI that it does not identify people involved in crashes, and local officials have not yet said whether anyone was injured or killed in the crash.

The Decatur County Sheriff's Office says reports of the crash came in around 8 a.m. Thursday, and first responders confirmed that a plane crashed near the south end of the Lamoni Municipal Airport's runway. 

Authorities have not released other details. People working near the crash site told KCCI that they heard what sounded like an explosion around the time of the crash.
