Irvin also said the crash was hard to access because it is in a heavily wooded area. Emergency rescuers extricated a woman and she was sent to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are in route to assess the crash.
