Reports described the plan crashing down near Route 14 and North Ridgefield Road.

Cory also confirmed that the plane was not talking to air traffic controllers at the time of the crash, and was flying by “Visual Flight Rules” (VFR). That basically means that the pilot was flying by looking out of the window.

It is expected that further information about the crash will soon be released from the McHenry County coroner's office.
