A small, single-engine plane crashed into the roof and ended up in the garage of a house in Northwest McMinnville Monday afternoon.

Capt. Matt Scales of the McMinnville Police Department said the pilot was killed in the 1:25 p.m. crash. A woman inside the house at 512 NW 22nd Street, was uninjured.

Investigators with the FAA responded to the crash as well as the National Transportation Safety Board.

FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said the airplane, a Lancair, crashed into the residence under unknown circumstances. The Lancair (pronounced Lance-air) is an airplane made from a kit and known as a high-performance single-engine aircraft according to the manufacturer.

Kenitzer said NTSB is the lead investigative agency.
