A small plane crashed in the Tucson Mountain District northwest of Avra Valley last night, killing the pilot, said Deputy Tom Peine, spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
No one else was on the plane.
Between 7:30 and 8:30 Sunday night the Federal Aviation Administration lost radar contact with the plane and contacted Customs and Border Protection to start a search via Black Hawk helicopter. The plane was found in a rugged area about 45 miles outside of Tucson, Peine said. He does not know what time the wreckage was spotted.
“That plane hit the ground hard,” Peine said. “It shattered into about a million pieces.”
Investigators, so far, have been unable to identify the pilot
