Officials are working the scene of a plane crash about an hour and 20 minutes southeast of Nashville, which reportedly left several passengers injured.
Troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol were on the ground at the scene of the crash — Old Shelbyville Road in Tullahoma — by 1:19 p.m. Sunday, according to a social media post from the agency.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, initial reports suggest that 16 to 20 people were on board the plane — and some of them have been airlifted to nearby hospitals following the crash.
The highway patrol is advising that the site of the crash is an active scene, and says further updates will come from local officials in Coffee County.
