The Warrensburg Daily Star-Journal reports the Cessna 182 went down shortly before noon Wednesday near Humansville, about 70 miles south of a planned stop in Warrensburg.

It was one of 50 airplanes racing in the 40th Annual Air Race Classic, which departed from Prescott, Arizona, on Tuesday morning. Race spokeswoman Dianna Stanger says preparations were being made Wednesday afternoon to remove the damaged aircraft from the field.

The race covers more than 2,700 miles across 12 states over four days and ends at 5 p.m. Friday in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Stanger says there have been no fatal crashes in the event’s four decades.
