(WTVQ) – State Police say at least one person was killed when a small plane crashed in Perry County around 7:00 p.m. Thursday.  The victim’s name hasn’t been released and there hasn’t been a positive identification of the plane because it was so badly damaged in the crash, according to State Police.
