St. George • Authorities say the pilot who was the only person aboard a single-engine plane was killed when it crashed Saturday shortly after takeing off from St. George Regional Airport in southwestern Utah.
The plane crashed on the side of a runway and city spokesman Marc Mortenson said the 9 a.m. crash delayed the arrival of an early afternoon arrival of a SkyWest Airlines flight from Phoenix by 15 minutes.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash.
