Two people are dead following the crash of a small plane Saturday night in northwest Iowa’s Woodbury County. According to the Sioux City Journal, the crash happened in a location south of Correctionville, on or near Highway 31, at around 8-p.m. Those who died were said to have been passengers on the plane. The pilot was injured and driven to a Sioux City Hospital after heavy fog in the area forced a medical evacuation helicopter to be grounded.

The National Weather Service began issuing dense fog advisories in northwest Iowa as early as 7:40 p.m. Saturday, but it’s not clear if weather played a role in the crash. No other details are currently available.

One person was sent to the hospital following a single-vehicle accident Saturday evening south of Elk Horn, in Shelby County. The Iowa State Patrol says 56-year old Janet Snyder, of Elk Horn, was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic by Elk Horn Rescue, following the accident which happened at around 5:15-p.m on Highway 173, just north of Interstate 80. The Patrol says according to witnesses, Snyder’s 2002 Ford Explorer left the road slowly just past a residence at 146 State Highway 173 and continued well into a corn field before coming to rest. Officials say it appears the accident occurred when Snyder suffered from some sort of medical condition.
