AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho — Authorities in eastern Idaho say a man piloting a small plane died after crashing in a field just outside the small town of American Falls.
The Power County Sheriff's Office tells KIFI-TV that a dog in the single-engine aircraft also died in the crash on Friday afternoon.
Authorities haven't released the man's name.
The cause of the crash is unknown, but none of the landing gears were engaged, so authorities do not think the pilot was attempting to land.
The Power County Sheriff's Office said the plane was registered in New Hampshire. At this time, authorities do not know where it came from or where it was headed. There were no distress calls from the plane.
A Fed Ex driver spotted the plane in the field at around noon Friday.
The National Transportation Board says it's investigating.
