From WGTD News:
The pilot and a passenger in a single-engine plane that crashed in the Town of Burlington Sunday afternoon suffered life-threatening injuries and were flown in separate helicopters to a Milwaukee hospital. That from the Racine County Sheriff’s Dept. The crash site was the backyard of a home. The department said the plane had trouble gaining altitude from takeoff at Burlington Municipal Airport. It narrowly missed a tree line, and the house itself. Both victims had to be extricated from the wreckage. No one on the ground was injured.
