ASHTABULA COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) -- One person is dead and another is hospitalized after a plane crash in Ashtabula County Sunday morning, the Ohio State Highway Patrol confirmed to Fox 8 News. According to Lt. Timothy Grimm with the Ashtabula Post, the patrol received a call at 10:11 a.m. Sunday about a plane crash in the area of SR 307 in Harpersville Township. The Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office was first on scene and confirmed two people were onboard a Zenith 701 single-engine plane that went down not far from the Germack Airport in Geneva. One person had already made it out of the plane and was walking around, Lt. Grimm said. The victim was severely burned and was taken to a hospital. The other occupant was pronounced dead at the scene. The names and ages of the victims have not been released. "It's a tragic event. There was a life lost in this event," Lt. Grimm said. It's not clear where the plane was headed or coming from. The FAA and NTSB will assist in the investigation, Lt. Grimm said. This is the second fatal plane crash in Northeast Ohio this month. In early May, a pilot from West Lafayette, Indiana, was killed after his plane went down in Ashland County.
