BLAIR, Neb. (AP) _ A small plane has crashed in the eastern Nebraska town of Blair.
A Washington County emergency dispatcher confirmed that the plane went down around 5:30 p.m. Thursday near U.S. Highway 30 and Nebraska Highway 133, on the city's southern edge.
Witnesses say the plane crashed into a hill known as ``Truck Mountain,'' where a local dealership stores its trucks.
A receptionist for the dealership, Woodhouse Auto Family, confirmed that a plane had crashed, but declined to comment further.
Travis Barrett, a sales manager at the nearby Blair Auto Mall, says he and co-workers heard a loud noise, and then the lights went off at their business.
Barrett says about 30 emergency vehicles arrived at the scene, but have since left. Authorities say one person has been taken to the hospital.
