WAYNE, Neb. (AP) – Authorities in Nebraska say a pilot has been found dead at the scene of a plane crash in the northeast part of the State. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office says the wreckage of the single-engine Cessna 172 was found around today (Monday), at around 1:30 a.m.

The plane was reported overdue Sunday and had gone off radar. It had been diverted to the Wayne County airport from its destination of Sioux City, Iowa, because of bad weather. The pilot was pronounced dead at the scene. His name hasn’t been released, pending notification of relatives.

Tom Becker manages the Wayne County facility, and he says Columbia, Missouri, was the last known stop for the aircraft. Federal authorities will be investigating.
