Carroll County emergency crews responded to a small plane crash Tuesday south of Carroll city limits.
According to a report from the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane crashed due to the loss of the engine in a field near 22224 220th St.
Investigators told Carroll Broadcasting that the pilot made it out without serious injury, but the plane is likely a total loss.
Ron Juergens, who owns the land where the crash occurred, spotted the plane as it fell from the sky.
"The guy was making a big loop and had engine trouble and started blowing white smoke and was losing power,” Juergens said.
An investigation into how the plane crashed is ongoing.
