Four people from Wisconsin were killed on Saturday when their private, single-engine plane crashed in a field near an airport in rural Illinois after reportedly striking powerlines, authorities said.
The Cessna 180G aircraft crashed about 10:16 a.m. local time Saturday in the unincorporated community of Trilla, Illinois, southeast of Coles County Memorial Airport in nearby Mattoon, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Preliminary information, according to the NTSB, indicates that the plane struck powerlines before crashing.
“My whole house shook,” Kynnedi Goldstein, who lives near the crash site, told ABC News.
