RACINE – A small plane crashed at about 8:25 p.m. Monday at Ad-Tech Medical Instrument, 1901 William Street.

No fire or smoke could be seen coming from the plane, but the smell of gas was reported. Part of the plane struck the northwest side of the building and a tree. The building is close to Batten International Airport, 3239 N Green Bay Rd.
