Small Plane Crashes in Neighborhood in Waunakee

A small plane crashed in a neighborhood in Waunakee Wednesday afternoon, leaving the two people aboard with minor injuries. The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of Kingston Way and Knightsbridge Road. Waunakee Police Chief Adam Kreitzman said the plane experienced engine trouble shortly after taking off from the nearby Waunakee Airport and landed on Knightsbridge Road. A report says when it landed, the plane hit two vehicles, at least one of which was unoccupied. Both people on the plane were taken to a hospital for medical treatment, but no one was seriously hurt. Kreitzman said local officials have reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration to see if that agency plans to investigate the crash. Waunakee resident Chelsea Baye said she had just gotten back to her home nearby when she heard the sound of an airplane close to her.  She said the plane nearly hit her van before hitting two other vehicles. After it landed, she and a neighbor rushed over to the occupants to help them until first responders arrived.
