Though the plane could carry six people, there were no other occupants.

The cause of the crash and identity of the single occupant are still under investigation, according to a highway patrol spokesperson.

Authorities reported that no distress calls were issued before the aircraft crashed, as the small airport lacked an air traffic control tower.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have been informed and are set to carry out their separate investigations, as stated by highway patrol.

The NTSB and FAA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
