Citing local authorities, the FAA said that only a pilot was onboard the single-engine aircraft. The condition of the pilot was not immediately clear.

It also was not immediately clear if any prisoners were in the yard at the time.

The plane, however, "sustained substantial damage," according to Kenitzer.
