PARSONS, Tenn. (AP) -- A Benton, Mo., man died Wednesday in West Tennessee when the crop dusting plane he was piloting went down.

Decatur County Emergency Management Director Kevin Cagle said the plane crashed about 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Bible Hill community in the northern part of the county, about five miles north of Parsons.

Cagle said the person killed was piloting the plane and was the only person aboard.

Cagle said the cause of the crash hasn't been determined, and the Federal Aviation Administration dispatched someone to investigate.
