A pilot was injured in a small plane crash this morning in Murfreesboro near the airport.

Officials say the single-engine Cessna 140 crashed in a field just before 9 a.m. after striking power lines.

The pilot was the only one on board when it went down. He was alert and speaking with medics when they transported him to a hospital.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash.
