Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac told CNN that a small Cessna C501 crashed into a lake near Nashville on Saturday afternoon. It has not yet been reported how many people were on board or if there are any injuries.
Rutherford County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Lt. Bill Miller said that a small plane has crash near Fate Sanders Boat Ramp in Tennessee. The crash site is about 30 miles (about 50 kilometers) southeast from Nashville. Fate Sanders is a large marina that exists among a large wetlands network.
