Brule County state's attorney Theresa Maule Rossow said survivors were hospitalized in Sioux Falls. Among the dead was the plane's pilot, she said.

"FAA investigators are on their way to the accident site, and the National Transportation Safety Board has been notified," the FAA said.Jay Blackman, Austin Mullen and Michelle Acevedo
