11/06/2012 Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the single-engine plane crash. The pilot was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lt. George Brown says troopers were notified of the crash about 1 p.m. Tuesday and that the only person that appeared to be on board the plane was killed.

The person's name was not released.

Brown said witnesses reported the plane appeared to be on approach to the airport — but that he did not know where the flight originated or what its destination was.
