Emergency crews responded to the site of a plane crash in a residential area in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on Sunday afternoon.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement the plane was a Beechcraft Bonanza with five on board. The status of the five was unavailable.
The aircraft, a popular, single-engine model introduced in 1947 and usually able to carry 6, crashed at 3 p.m., the FAA said.
Gov. Josh Shapiro said the crash happened near Lancaster Airport, which is in Manheim Township.
Online images of the crash showed the tail of a plane in a parking lot with the rest of the aircraft engulfed in flames. Firefighters managed to extinguish the flames, but at least two vehicles were damaged by the blaze.
Officials did not immediately respond to questions about number of injuries.
Shapiro said state police were helping first responders.
“All Commonwealth resources are available as the response continues, and more information will be provided as it becomes available,” he said on X.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which normally investigates such crashes, said it was aware of the situation and would release more information later.
Video from NBC affiliate WGAL of Lancaster showed the crashed plane in what appeared to be a parking area at Brethren Village, a retirement community located less than a mile away from Lancaster Airport.
Brethren Village did not immediately respond to a request for more information Sunday.
