Two people were hospitalized Sunday after a plane crashed in Dunn County shortly after taking off from Boyceville Municipal Airport. The crash happened near Boundary Road in Hay River Township, and federal investigators are now working to determine what went wrong.
Plane Went Down Near Boundary Road
Around noon Sunday, Dunn County officials received a call about the crash near Boundary Road north of Highway 170, according to KSTP. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded and found two people aboard the aircraft.
The pilot was a 36-year-old woman, while the passenger was a 51-year-old man, the station reported. Both were taken for hospital care with injuries that had not been publicly described, and officials had not released their conditions as of the initial report.
FAA And NTSB Lead Investigation
The plane had just departed Boyceville Municipal Airport before the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are leading the investigation, but no cause has been announced.
The NTSB's aviation database says factual information is added as it becomes available, with preliminary material eventually replaced by a final account that includes the probable cause. For now, details about the aircraft and the conditions of the two occupants remain pending.
