CORNING, Iowa (AP) - Authorities are investigating a deadly plane crash in southwest Iowa.

The Federal Aviation Administration says a pilot was killed Sunday morning when the single-engine plane went down in a pasture about 8 miles east of Corning in Adams County.

The FAA says the pilot was the only one on board.

Adams County Emergency Management Coordinator Don Willet says the plane was not from the local area. The body was sent to a medical examiner for identification.

No other information was immediately available.
