SICILY ISLAND, La, (AP) — A young pilot of a crop-dusting aircraft was killed when his plane crashed into a field in northeast Louisiana, authorities said Wednesday.
The single-engine Air Tractor 502 crashed Tuesday afternoon along Highway 425, about 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of Sicily Island, the Catahoula Parish Sheriff's Office said. Sicily Island is about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southeast of Monroe.
Sheriff Toney Edwards, in a news release, identified the pilot as Jakob T. Porter, 22, of Ferriday. Porter was pronounced dead at the scene, he said. There were no passengers.
In a preliminary accident report, the Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was maneuvering during an aerial application when it crashed under unknown circumstances.
