One person has died in a western Kentucky plane crash.

The Graves County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash near the Mayfield/Graves County Airport Monday afternoon at approximately 4:55.

Once in the area, deputies discovered the plane went down in a field near the intersection of Twin Hill Road and Spence Chapel Road, just north of I-69, Sheriff Jon Hayden said. The plane crashed less than three-quarters of a mile from the airport, and about three miles northeast of Mayfield.

The unidentified pilot, who died at the scene, was the only person in the aircraft.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the cause of the crash.
