Small plane crashes into Pennsylvania residential parking lot; 5 on board injured
A small plane crashed into the parking lot of a residential community in Pennsylvania, according to emergency services. All five people on board were injured and transported to local hospitals.
The single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza went down at 3:18 p.m. in the parking lot of the Brethren Village Retirement Community in Lancaster County, according to Manheim Fire Chief Scott Little. Emergency responders rescued all five occupants from the aircraft before they were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
No injuries were reported on the ground, and no structural damage occurred at the Brethren Village property. However, approximately 12 vehicles were damaged by the crash and the subsequent fire.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that it will be investigating the incident.
The plane, registered as N347M, took off from Lancaster Airport at 3:15 p.m. before crashing into the parking lot next to the airport, WPVI reported. The cause of the crash remains unknown.
“The fact that we have a plane crash where everybody survives and nobody on the ground is hurt is a wonderful thing,” said Police Chief Duane Fisher.
