Three Killed After Plane Crashes into North Dakota Lake

A 19-year old pilot and two others are dead after their plane crashed just south of Wishek, North Dakota Thursday night, June 9th.

According to InForum, the 1964 Piper Cherokee left the Wishek Municipal Airport at 3:30 p.m., en route to Bismarck.

Immediately after takeoff, the pilot began experiencing problems, before the plane crashed into May Lake, which is a fairly shallow body of water.

A 39-year old woman and a 10-year old boy were also killed in the crash.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.
