A private plane has crashed in Tallahassee tonight knocking out power to a good portion of the Capitol City, including most of the FSU main Campus.

Eyewitnesses told NewsChannel Seven the plane was flying very low when it went down near a Walgreen's drug store at Tennessee St. and Ocala St. in a heavily populated residential area.

It crashed at approx 8:40 tonight, eastern time. The crash area has been sealed off and traffic is being detoured. Police are keeping spectators from the scene.

Tallahassee police say the pilot was the only one on board the single engine private plane. His identity was not immediately available. But police tell us he was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital with a broken leg and possible back injuries.

It appears so far that no one on the ground was injured.

Utility workers are out in force trying to restore electric service , but its not known how long the repiars will take.
