Investigators still looking for clues in deadly plane crash near Madrid

August 15, 2011 By Matt Kelley

Authorities have yet to release the names of two people who were killed in a small plane crash in central Iowa over the weekend. The crash happened Saturday afternoon in a remote area along the Des Moines River near Madrid.

The pilot and a passenger were killed. A fisherman reported seeing the crash and said the plane struck some power lines and nosedived into a sandbar in the river.

The plane — a restored, vintage World War II aircraft known as a Fairchild M-62 — was flying along the river from Boone to Ankeny when it crashed.
