My wife just sent me this link. Pilot survived. Not sure which plane it is but the prop looks like it could be a warbird. Hopefully more details will be out soon.

Glad the pilot made it out. Looks like a pointy spinner on that prop.

The video report in the link above calls the plane a "twin Cessna".

Reported on Beechtalk as a Cessna 414 on the way to TX to PU a Veteran for travel through the VAC.
Engine failure or some kind of mechanical issue forced his return to the airport after takeoff.
Pilot escaped the wreckage and used his cell to call for help but suffered some burns.
Prayers for a complete recovery and hats off to these pilots for helping out.
