The aircraft, a 1969 Cessna 172K fixed wing single engine plane, came to rest in a field owned by Freeman Farms near Highway 5 North and County Road 13 in the Midway area. While the Arkansas State Police are not releasing the names of those on board, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records show the plane is registered to William Talley of Bakersfield, Missouri.

State police said they have requested assistance from the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate what caused the aircraft to land just outside the airport.
