Plane Crash in Dover

DOVER, Del. (AP) - State police say a pilot was killed when a single-engine airplane crashed in Dover.

The wreckage of the aircraft was found Sunday night on White Oak Road, more than two hours after it was reported missing. The pilot and sole occupant was dead at the scene.

Police say the fixed-wing plane vanished off radar after an emergency call was placed to the control tower at Dover Air Force Base.

The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the crash.
