'No survivors': Authorities say plane that departed from Fort Dodge has crashed in Indiana

Officials said the weather was poor at the time of the crash.

All nine people aboard a plane that departed from Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Wednesday have died in a crash in Indiana, authorities said.

The plane, a Piper PA-31 Navajo, crashed in a cornfield in Pulaski County, Indiana, at around 12:30 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office said there were no survivors.

The victims have been identified as:

• The pilot, Michael Funk, 67, of Fort Dodge
• The co-pilot, Patrick Rhoads, 58, of Fort Dodge
• The passengers, Charles Summer, 78, of Fort Dodge; Michael Hutter, 82, of Fort Dodge; Robert Lapic, 72, of Fort Dodge; Thomas Shore, 87, of Fort Dodge; and Glen Prickett, 86, of Winter Haven, Florida.

The FAA is investigating the cause of the crash.

The weather was poor at the time of the crash

The National Weather Service (NWS) said there was heavy fog in the area at the time of the crash.

The NWS also said there were winds gusting up to 25 mph.

The combination of fog and wind likely made it difficult for the pilot to see and control the plane.

The plane was flying from Fort Dodge to Indianapolis

The plane was flying from Fort Dodge Municipal Airport to Indianapolis Regional Airport.

The flight was scheduled to take about two hours.

The plane was operated by a company called Van's Air Service.

The crash is the deadliest in Indiana since 2013

The crash is the deadliest in Indiana since 2013, when a FedEx cargo plane crashed in Indianapolis, killing all five people on board.

The last fatal plane crash in Pulaski County was in 1978, when a small plane crashed into a house, killing three people.

The community is mourning the loss of the victims

The community of Fort Dodge is mourning the loss of the victims of the plane crash.
