SPARTA — Federal aviation officials are investigating what caused a single-engine aircraft crash Friday at the Sparta/Fort McCoy Airport that injured one on board.
Pilot John D. Linder, of Mankato, Minn., aborted takeoff, ran off the east/west runway and slid through grass and brush about 10:30 p.m. after refueling, said Fort McCoy spokeswoman Linda Fournier.
A female passenger was taken to a La Crosse hospital with non-life threatening injuries, she said. The names of the three passengers were not released.
“The good news is that it could have been a lot worse than it was,” Fournier said.
The investigation is expected to take several weeks, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro.
