Small Plane Crashes In Green County

Officials say one person was injured when a small plane crashed at Brodhead Airport in Green County. Authorities say the crash happened Sunday afternoon in the town of Decatur as the pilot was practicing landing techniques. The pilot, Delbert Devries, says that as he was attempting to land the plane, a 1975 Cessna, speed and weather conditions caused it to go beyond the landing strip and overturn. Devries was not seriously injured, but a passenger, John Musser, was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries. The Federal Aviation Administration was notified.
