Four people died when a small, single-engine plane crashed in Trilla, Illinois, on Saturday morning.
The plane departed from Menomonie, Wisconsin, and went down at around 10:15 a.m, according to state police. All occupants were pronounced dead at the scene.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which will investigate the crash, identified the plane as a Cessna C180G model.
Gov. JB Pritzker urged the public to follow instructions from law enforcement as roads were closed in the crash aftermath.
“Terrible news out of Coles County,” Pritzker wrote in a post on X. “My administration is monitoring the situation as we keep those impacted by the plane crash in our thoughts today.”
