One person has died and another was injured in a Harrison County plane crash.
The crash occurred Wednesday afternoon at approximately 5:30 at the Cynthiana-Harrison County Airport in north central Kentucky.
Two people were on the single-engine aircraft, a man and woman, when it crashed at the east end of the runway. The female was pronounced deceased at a local hospital. The male was transported to a hospital with serious injuries to his lower extremities, according to FoxLexington.com.
