On October 14, 2026, a small plane crashed in a densely wooded area near Dellona, Wisconsin, killing six people including a child. The crash occurred around 9:30 pm when the Piper PA-46, en route from Kenosha to Menomonie, hit bad weather conditions and ice accumulation on its wings during a thunderstorm.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of the crash, focusing on weather conditions and final communications with air traffic control.
