The FAA says only the pilot, 23-year-old Logan Timothy James, was on board when the Cessna 172 crashed. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

James, a private pilot certificated ATP student, stole the plane from ATP Flight School in Addison, about 100 miles southwest of where the crash occurred.

There is no information yet about what caused the crash.

Direct is about an hour east of Sherman, on the Texas-Oklahoma border.
