Two Die in Small Plane Crash in Sugar Grove
Two people were killed in a twin-engine plane that crashed near a home in far west suburban Sugar Grove, according to media reports.
The small aircraft was about two miles north of Aurora Municipal Airport when the pilot and who is believed to be a passenger went down Saturday.
The plane, a Piper Aerostar, was taking off from that airport and heading to Denver when witnesses reportedly said they spotted a “fireball” in the sky. The plane crashed near a home but no one was hurt on the ground, according to reports.
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials were at the scene Saturday night and are trying to determine the cause.
