ELBERTA Ala. For the second time this month, a plane crashed in Elberta and when emergency responders arrived on the scene, the plane was found to be empty, and the pilot was no place to be found.
In the latest downed plane, which was reported Friday morning before 9 a.m., the plane had flipped and crashed into a field and when firefighters arrived, they found blood, but nobody was in the area. This crash site was near County Road 95 and Gardner Road.
As with the first plane crash which occurred on June 3rd in the area of County Road 95 and Frank Road, the damaged plane was in a field and neither the pilot nor anyone else was found to be in the area.
Again, this time, law enforcement officials believe that the crash, which involved what appears to be a two-seater Cessna, happened on Thursday and not Friday morning.
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified and was expected to arrive Monday to investigate the circumstances of the crash.
Pilots who crash their planes are required to notify the National Transportation Safety Board and, in most cases, local law enforcement authorities.
The plane involved in the crash that occurred earlier in the month was recovered from private property where it crashed a few days afterwards.
