A small plane crashed Sunday morning in Lititz, Pennsylvania, killing one person, Lancaster County dispatch said.

According to Lancaster County dispatch, the aircraft went down just before 8 a.m. near 500 Airport Road. The plane’s sole occupant was a male and he was pronounced dead at the scene, the dispatch said. The identity of the victim has not yet been released.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the crash involved a Piper PA-46, which is a single engine aircraft. It crashed shortly after departing from the Lancaster Airport, according to the NTSB. 

Two investigators with the NTSB are traveling to the scene to document the wreckage and assess what led to the crash.
