‘No survivors’ after plane that took off from Fort Dodge airport crashes in Indiana

ANDERSON, Ind. — Authorities confirm that there are no survivors after a plane that flew out of Fort Dodge crashed in Anderson, Indiana on Friday.

According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, emergency crews responded to the 4300 block of East 100 South on report of a plane crash just before 10 a.m.

At the scene, crews found the flaming wreckage of a plane.

The sheriff’s department confirmed there were “no survivors” after being initially unsure how many people were onboard. An initial flight plan listed four people onboard the plane. The FAA later confirmed that four were aboard the plane at the time of the crash.

The single-engine plane was reportedly told to reroute while attempting to land at the nearby airport due to coming in at too high of an altitude. A witness told authorities the plane was spotted “flipping over” before being seen “nose-diving into a cornfield.”

The plane reportedly flew out of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and is registered to a company.

The Fort Dodge Regional Airport released the following statement about the crash:

The Fort Dodge Regional Airport is aware of the tragic plane crash that occurred this morning in Anderson, Indiana.

We can confirm that the aircraft involved in this incident was not based at our airport. However, the flight plan indicates that the aircraft took off from Fort Dodge Regional Airport at 6:48 AM this morning, en route to Anderson, Indiana.

Our thoughts are with those onboard and their families during this difficult time. We are fully cooperating with authorities as they investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident.
