Omaha fire officials say a man was killed and a woman critically injured in the crash of a small plane at the Millard Airport Sunday morning.
The crash was reported at approximately 8:45 a.m. First responders found smoke and flames rising from an airport runway when they arrived.
Three medical units were dispatched to the scene. The fire was quickly contained and authorities then confirmed that a man had died in the crash and the woman was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Investigators believe those were the only two people on board but could not immediately confirm that. No names have been released yet. Wreckage was strewn across the area.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been notified. They will send teams to take over the investigation.
The airport was shut down after the crash. Authorities on scene did not specify when operations would resume.
