1 Killed in Southern Illinois Plane Crash
One individual died Saturday morning when the airplane he was in crashed in southern Illinois, in response to authorities.
Robert Binger, 60, of Florida and Buck Martin, 39, of Edwardsville, had been flying a Piper Comanche when it crashed shortly earlier than 11:40 a.m. in rural Madison County, in response to KSDK, the NBC affiliate in St. Louis.
Binger died on the scene. Martin was transported to a St. Louis hospital with life-threatening accidents.
A regulation enforcement supply advised KSDK the airplane was returning to St. Louis Metro East Airport/Shafer Discipline from Eagle Creek Airpark Airport, a single-runway facility about seven miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Situations had been wet on the time of the crash, but it surely’s unclear in the event that they performed a job in what occurred.
The crash is beneath investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Nationwide Transportation Security Board.
