WYNDMERE, N.D. (AP) - A worker with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program and a contractor suffered minor injuries in a plane crash in southeastern North Dakota.
The Highway Patrol says the plane went down in a field near Wyndmere on Thursday morning. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said it was a single-engine Piper 18.
USDA spokeswoman Tanya Espinosa says the plane belonged to a contractor working with Wildlife Services. She says the two men aboard were taken to a hospital “for evaluation of minor injuries.”
The names of the men weren’t immediately released.
Espinoza says the agency is working with state and federal authorities to determine what happened.
