Two fatal plane crashes being investigated

Talk about it

The Federal Aviation Agency is investigating two fatal plane crashes in south central Wisconsin.

Each killed one man around dinnertime Monday. The first crash happened about 5 p.m. near the Brodhead airport in Green County.

The second took place just after 5:30 p.m. north of New Lisbon in Juneau County.

The pilots were the only ones on board. Their names were not immediately released.

In the first crash, witnesses saw an amateur-built, single-engine plane slam into a field next to the privately-owned Brodhead airport.

The FAA reported a local flying pattern.

The second plane was a crop-duster that went down in the Juneau County town of Clearfield. The 55-year-old male pilot died later at a Mauston hospital.
