(ST. GEORGE)—The Federal Aviation Administration says search crews in southern Utah have found the wreckage of a single-engine plane that crashed after leaving from the Las Vegas area while the pilot was killed. FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says authorities believe only the pilot was found aboard the Piper Malibu which departed from the North Las Vegas airport Tuesday morning at about 6:30. The plane was headed toward Cedar City when it disappeared off the radar shortly after 7:00 a.m. Gregor says search crews found the burned wreckage Tuesday afternoon in a mountainous area about 20 miles west of St. George. Search and rescue crews are currently at the site recovering the pilot’s body. A crew will stay with the wreckage overnight and a team from the NTSB plans to arrive Wednesday to investigate potential causes of the crash. Authorities don’t know the pilot’s identity and Washington County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Rob Tersingi said skies were clear at the time of the crash.
