A SKYDIVING plane carrying 20 people crashed just moments after takeoff. 

Several people were left injured in the horror that unfolded in Tennessee on Sunday. 

The plane, a DH-6 Twin Otter, took off at around 12:30pm from an airport in Tullahoma – around 77 miles from Nashville – before it smashed into the ground.

It crashed at the end of the runway of the local airport.

The aircraft experienced an “unknown issue” before it crashed into trees. 

Pictures from the scene show the mangled wreckage with the plane split in two.

Six of the 20 people on board were rushed to the hospital. 

Meanwhile the others on board were treated at the scene, as reported by the NBC affiliate WSMV-TV.

Officials revealed no one was killed in the plane crash.

Locals were urged to stay clear of the airport in the immediate aftermath of the crash.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators and federal aviation chiefs have already launched a probe.

A string of plane crashes have already been reported across the US this year.

In January, an American Airlines plane carrying 67 people collided with a Black Hawk helicopter before both aircraft plunged into the freezing Potomac River in Washington DC.

All sixty four people on the passenger plane, including passengers and crew, perished in the crash that left the aviation industry reeling.

The crash was America’s deadliest air disaster in almost 24 years.

Days after the collision over the Potomac, a medical jet crashed and burst into flames in Philadelphia, killing seven people.

More than two dozen people were injured and the impact saw rows of homes torched.

The plane came down just 30 seconds after takeoff.

The plane, carrying a girl who had just undergone surgery, was flying back to Tijuana, Mexico, and was set to stop in Missouri.

In April, six people were killed in a plane crash in New York.

Top neurologist Michael Groff and his wife urogynecologist Dr. Joy Saini were among the victims.

Recent college graduate James Santoro and his girlfriend Karenna Groff were also killed in the tragedy.

The couple died just months before they were set to get engaged.

Last month, rocker Daniel Williams, best known for starring in the group The Devil Wears Prada, was among six people killed in a plane crash in San Diego.

Hours before the crash, he shared a picture that showed him sitting by the controls of a private plane.
