KANSASVILLE (WKOW) -- The Federal Aviation Administration says a pilot was killed when a plane crashed into a yard along Eagle Lake in Kansasville in southeastern Wisconsin.

FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro says the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza was flying from Chicago Executive Airport to Minoqua in north-central Wisconsin when it crashed and hit a building around noon Sunday.

The pilot, who was the only person on board, was killed but no injuries on the ground were reported.

Molinaro says the cause of the crash is unknown, but the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

The pilot's name has not been released.

Witnesses report hearing the plane flying low and then a loud boom. They describe seeing the plane, cars, sheds and trees on fire.
