PHOENIX (AP) — A small plane struck two homes in Phoenix on
Wednesday before crashing nose-down in a backyard, injuring the
two people on board and a man in one of the homes, authorities
said.
One of the wings of the Piper P-28 was torn off and settled on
the roof of the first home it damaged. The plane then landed
next to the backyard swimming pool of the second home,
authorities said.
A student pilot and flight instructor sustained minor cuts and
burns and were taken to a hospital along with the man in the
home, Phoenix Fire Department spokesperson Capt. Todd Keller
told Phoenix television stations.
“Fortunately, everyone was OK,” Keller told azfamily.com.
The plane was headed to the nearby Deer Valley Airport when it
crashed.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
