The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office has released the names of two people killed in a small plane crash Friday.
The victims are identified as:
Pilot: Dennis D. Hall, 67, McHenry, Ill.
Passenger: Filip J. Smecko, 19, Janesville, Wis.
The sheriff's office says the biplane crashed in a farm field along Willow Road off County Highway O around 12:30 p.m.
A witness reported it to 911.
The sheriff's office says the plane was an Aerotek Pitts S-2A, which is a two-seat, single-engine biplane designed for aerobatics. The sheriff's office does not believe it was from Sheboygan County.
The FAA tells Action 2 News it was notified by local authorities and will be sending a team to investigate.
The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation, which is routine for all plane crashes.
