Howland Fire Chief Ray Pace said the plane landed in a “heavily wooded area.”
A woman told WOIO that the plane crash woke her up.
“I thought there was a storm and two more pops of thunder-like sound,” said Rachel Flowers.
She told WOIO that they saw flashing lights and billows of smoke.
“Smoke, lots of smoke, flames at the beginning, but the crews put it out pretty fast,” said Flowers. “I mean, they were on it.”
We will update this developing story.
