Arkansas State Police and the Sevier County sheriff’s office are investigating a fatal plane crash that happened Sunday in a cow pasture near De Queen. Police were waiting on National Transportation Safety Board officials on Monday morning. Two men were in the fixed wing multi-engine Cessna that crashed about 4:45 p.m. Sunday in a pasture on private property west of De Queen. One man was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck. Another was taken by ambulance to an area hospital in serious condition, officials said. Authorities declined to release the men’s identities on Monday.
