Two people from Cloquet were seriously injured in a small plane crash in Ontario, Canada, early Wednesday. Ontario Provincial Police authorities said a Cessna 180 was trying to take off from a camp on Trout Lake when it crashed, injuring the 78-year-old man piloting the plane and a 62-year-old woman passenger. A second passenger, a 44-year-old man, also from Cloquet, was not hurt.

The Federal Aviation Administration confirms a single-engine aircraft crashed in Upper Whitefish Lake near Brainerd early Sunday morning. The Pioneer Press reports the pilot was killed and a passenger was injured. An FAA spokesman said the small plane is submerged about 75 yards offshore, but had no future details as of noon Sunday.

A pilot is OK after crashing his crop-dusting plane Tuesday in western Minnesota. The Yellow Medicine County Sheriff's Office said the pilot, Bryce Orwick, 47, of Clara City, hit a power line before crashing in a cornfield just west of Hanley Falls.

Witnesses who saw a small plane crash in northwestern Ontario earlier this week are credited with helping save the lives of three Northland residents aboard the aircraft. Several people living on the lake got into boats, made their way to the crash site and provided first aid to the victims, Canadian media reported.
