GUTHRIE CENTER, Iowa—A small plane crashed in central Iowa, killing all four people on board, after the pilot apparently had a heart attack and a student pilot was attempted an emergency landing, authorities said on Nov. 10.

The plane dropped off radar Friday night about 4 miles from Guthrie Center airport, the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Searchers found the wreckage Saturday morning in a cow pasture southwest of Guthrie Center, which is about 115 miles southwest of Le Mars, where the plane had taken off.
