Horrifying images show the mangled remains of a small plane that crash-landed on farmland in Ohio, killing the pilot.
The six-seater plane, a 1973 Cessna 310Q, came down on Tuesday afternoon in Mill Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The pilot, who has not been named, was the only person aboard the plane, which took off from Harry Clever Field Airport in New Philadelphia.
Footage from the scene of the crash shows the plane was completely mangled, with only the tale of the aircraft surviving the impact.
Officials with highway patrol have opened a probe into the cause of the crash, according to Fox 8.The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will also conduct a probe.
The deadly crash came just days after a plane crashed into a Minnesota home, killing everyone on board.
The single-engine aircraft plummeted from the sky in a quiet residential neighborhood of Brooklyn Park around 12:30pm on Saturday, according to Fox 9.
The entire home erupted into flames, leaving billows of black smoke rising in the air, causing first responders to evacuate the area.

There were no survivors on the plane, the fire chief said at a press conference. It was not clear how many people were aboard.
Terry Dolan, 63, the Vice Chair and Chief Administration Officer of US Bancorp, was the pilot.
Luckily, no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.
The plane was a SOCATA TBM7, a single-engine business aircraft. It departed from Des Moines International Airport and was headed for Minneapolis, according to the outlet.
Several planes have been involved in serious incidents since the start of the year.
The most deadly this year was when an American Airlines flight and a Blackhawk collided nearly Reagan National Airport in Washington DC, killing 67, including many young ice skaters.
Near the same airport, a US Air Force jet nearly collided with a Delta airplane last week.
The flight, with 137 people on board, had just departed for Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, when it suddenly received an emergency notification of a nearby aircraft.
Meanwhile five people were rushed to the hospital last month after a plane crash-landed in a retirement home parking lot in Pennsylvania.
The plane took off as scheduled, but quickly requested to land back on the tarmac because its door had opened.

Horrifying air traffic control audio revealed the pilot telling ground agents that they needed to turn around - but at one point he said that he couldnt hear the radio because of all the wind noise, caused by the unlocked hatch.
The air traffic controller can be heard saying: Pull up... the aircraft is down just behind the terminal in the parking lot tree area.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, an FAA spokesperson said five people were on board the plane. They have all been transferred to local hospitals with various injuries.
Residents of the retirement home were instructed to shelter in place as a precaution as initial investigations took place, but authorities have confirmed the pilot avoided nearby buildings and that nobody on the ground was injured.
