ST. ANTHONY - A small plane crash just northwest of St. Anthony. Around 1pm Friday, Fremont County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene. When they arrived, they found a crop duster in the middle of a corn field completely on fire. Deputies were able to find the pilot, Kevin Peterson of Rexburg, who escaped with no injuries.

According to Peterson, the plane's engine died and he was trying to land the plane in the field. He went through a barbed-wire fence and ditch, causing him to lose control.

The crash is still under investigation.
