Plane Crash in Indiana Leaves Four Dead

A single-engine Piper PA-46 plane that took off from Fort Dodge Regional Airport in Iowa crashed in a cornfield near Anderson, Indiana, shortly before 10 a.m. on Friday, resulting in no survivors among the four individuals believed to be on board. The Madison County Sheriff's Department reported that the aircraft was attempting to land at Anderson Municipal Airport when it was instructed to reroute due to being too high. Eyewitnesses observed the plane flipping over and nose-diving into the field, bursting into flames upon impact. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the crash, which occurred approximately a half mile southeast of the airport. As of now, the identities of the victims and the exact number of individuals aboard have not been released. The Fort Dodge Regional Airport confirmed that the aircraft was not based at their facility but acknowledged the flight's departure.
