CASSVILLE, Wis. — Two student aviators injured when their plane crashed at a resort in southwestern Wisconsin remain hospitalized in critical condition.

Grant County sheriff’s officials say the students from the University of Dubuque in Iowa were severely burned when the plane went down at the Eagle’s Roost Resort in Cassville. It crashed into a tree and two cabins before it burst into flames.

A spokeswoman for University Hospital in Madison says the two remained in critical condition on Thursday.

The university identified the students as juniors Cory Alsip from Glendale Heights, Illinois, and Grant Vogt of Dubuque.

On the university’s Web site, president Jeffrey Bullock says the university plane was approaching the Cassville airport before it crashed. Witnesses say the two students were able to get out before the plane became fully engulfed in flames.
