Trilla, Ill. (AP) — A single-engine plane crashed in a field in
central Illinois on Saturday, killing all four people on board.
Coles County Coroner Ed Schniers said the victims were two women
and two men, but he could not release more details pending
notification of next of kin.
The Cessna C180G airplane went down shortly after 10 a.m. near
the unincorporated community of Trilla, the National
Transportation Safety Board said via email. Preliminary
information indicated that it struck power lines, the NTSB said.
“Terrible news out of Coles County,” Gov. JB Pritzker said on
social media, adding that his administration “is monitoring the
situation as we keep those impacted by the plane crash in our
thoughts today.”
