DELAND - Two men were hospitalized after their small plane crashed near central Florida.

Authorities say the single-engine plane clipped a power line and flipped, crashing on U.S. 92 in DeLand Saturday afternoon. Two older men were inside the plane.

No information on the extent of the men's injuries or a cause of the crash were immediately released.

Witness Tom Kromhout says the plane hit the ground immediately after striking the power line. He says one man inside the plane was trapped by his seat belt, so Kromhout got out a pocket knife and cut the man free. Several other witnesses also helped.
