DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration says it has received a report of a plane crash near Duncan.

FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said Wednesday the plane, described as a single-engine aircraft, went down and caught fire about 13 miles west of Duncan near the border between Stephens and Carter counties in southern Oklahoma.

Lunsford says authorities don't have any confirmation of injuries or fatalities. He didn't immediately know where the flight originated or was headed.

COUNTYLINE, OK -- Authorities are reporting a plane has crashed in Countyline just outside of Duncan. A viewer whose father is a first responder in that area, Amber Cheyenne Wright, has informed us that the single-engine pipeline plane may have been an aircraft used to search for oil leaks.

Wright said the pilot may have spotted a leak, flew too low and clipped power lines which caused the plane to go down.

She said the plane may have hit the Sholem Gas Plant and has started a fire.

The crash is thought to be fatal, however, authorities have yet to confirm a death.

Ratliff City, Fox and Velma fire departments are on scene.
