Though the plane could carry six people, there were no other occupants.

The cause of the crash and identity of the single occupant are still under investigation, according to a highway patrol spokesperson.

Officials noted there were no distress calls made prior to the plane going down because there was not an air traffic control tower at the small airport.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were notified and will conduct their own investigations, according to highway patrol.
