Caledonia Plane Crash Victims Identified
Three Michigan men who died when their small aircraft crashed in a field near the Houston County airport have been identified.
They were 79-year-old Joel Alan Garrett of Troy, Mich., 49-year-old Dale Edward Garrett of Berkely, Mich., and 50-year-old John Paul Bergeron of Birmingham, Mich.
A fourth person was injured in the crash. Deputies say 61-year-old Joseph Samuel Stevens of Bloomfield, Mich., was taken to a Wisconsin hospital with severe injuries.
Authorities say the men’s twin-engine Piper PA-23 was traveling Friday from Troy to Minnesota on Friday when it crashed in Caledonia, about 4:30 p.m.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating. A preliminary report is expected next week.
