–Only minor injuries were reported after a spray plane crash landed on a rural acreage south of Algona Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 call came in just after 4:15 PM Wednesday reporting a small plane had crashed near the area of 1009 180th Street, 2 miles southwest of Algona.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene, where they located a Cessna Model A188B spray plane, registered to D&K Aviation out of Milford, Iowa. The pilot was the only occupant onboard the plane when it crashed after losing power and clipping power lines near the residence at that address.
No one on the ground was injured, and the pilot was treated at the scene by Kossuth EMS for minor cuts and was not transported to a medical facility.
Midland Power Cooperative was notified so they could repair the power lines damaged by the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified, and they will conduct their own investigation into the crash.
Kossuth County Emergency Management and the Algona Fire Department also responded to the incident.
