My friend was leaving work a few minutes ago and called me when he saw a Piper curled up in a bunch of trees at the exit of his parking lot. The police were just starting to secure the scene and he says that they didn't appear to be trying to help anyone in the plane which most likely means it's a fatal wreck. He got close enough to get the N number which is how I know the plane. It was registered out of Evansville, In. I'll leave the N-Number off for now for respect of the pilot and any passengers. It was only about a 2 mile final for the runway and it looks like it was on approach from the angle and remains of the aircraft. It almost looks like he was trying to land on the road and his wing impacted two trees in the median and then head on into a third tree. I'll post up more as soon as my friend sees or hears anything else or once the story breaks on the news.
