JANESVILLE, Wis. — Two people died Tuesday morning in a plane crash near Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in Rock County. The plane crashed around 9:20 a.m. along the edge of Happy Hollow Park, a wooded area about a mile south of the airport. Emergency crews said the remote location made their response difficult. They approached the area from the land and water and were able to reach the plane by airboat. “There was a lot of water. It’s a very low-lying area. Trees were down and of course with the snow being deep, navigating all that was difficult for responding personnel,” Rock County Sheriff Troy Knudson said during a media briefing on the crash.
