The aircraft, believed to be an experimental Deiter built Kitfox, clipped power lines and impacted a field two miles west of the pilot/owner's residence in Winterset, Iowa. The airplane sustained unreported damage and the sole pilot on board received serious injuries. No NTSB report appears to have been filed for this accident. What follows is a contemporary press report:
"WINTERSET, Iowa —Authorities with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office said an ultralight plane crashed in a field near the intersection of 210th Street and Earlham Road Thursday. Deputies identified the pilot as 54-year-old Patrick Cook, of Winterset.
They said he had to be removed from the wreckage. He was flown to a Des Moines hospital with serious injuries. Cook suffered head, leg and abdominal injuries. Authorities said witnesses reported seeing the plane clip a power line and crash into the field. The crash is under investigation."
* Registration unconfirmed - however, the pilot named in the above report appears to be the same one as the registered owner of N236DD, and the address is the same
