Summary

A Piper PA-46 fixed-wing aircraft crashed in a wooded area near Dellona in Sauk County, Wisconsin, on October 13, 2026, around 9:30 p.m., killing all six people aboard—five adults and one child, including a 13-year-old boy and his mother. The plane was en route from Kenosha to Menomonie when the pilot reported ice building up on the wings during a thunderstorm before losing contact. The aircraft descended at rates up to 4,000 feet per minute before impact. No one on the ground was injured, and nearby structures sustained no damage. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the crash, with weather conditions being examined as a potential factor.
