Five people are dead after a Tuesday evening plane crash in Wisconsin and authorities are investigating the incident.

The local Sheriff's office indicated that the plane had contacted an air traffic controller tower and that law enforcement was reviewing the scope of those messages.

"We know that they had contact with the tower prior to the crash and investigators are looking into that today to find out what that communication was," Sauk County Sheriff Chip Meister said to FOX6 Milwaukee.

The plane departed from Kenosha and crashed in Dellona, inside the town. Photos of the site showed firefighters and first responders on the street.
