Posted on the news, it looks like the silver Super T-6 N426KS from the wreckage photo, very happy to hear the pilot was helped away. They call it a Superior T 6 in the article. Prayers for the pilot.

From the news link
Quote:
The pilot, 84-year-old John Henry Shell Sr, was able to get to safety with the help of two witnesses, Tyler Woodard and Brian Stevens, who saw the crash and rushed over. Shell was out of the aircraft – a Superior T 6 – but needed help getting away from the burning plane.
