The incident was reported as a structure fire, indicating the plane may have crashed into a building, possibly a warehouse.

Video from Sky5 later confirmed that a commercial building had been hit, with a large hole in the building’s roof and no sign of any visible plane wreckage. Firefighters were seen battling a blaze from inside the warehouse.

Video from the Citizen App in the immediate moments after the crash showed large plume of black smoke billowing from the crash site, fire trucks speeding toward the source and firefighters assessing the situation from a nearby roof.

Police urged drivers to avoid the area as several roads near the scene of the crash were closed.

In November, two people avoided serious injury when their plane crashed into a tree near the same airport.
