Emergency services responded to a call and rushed to Manheim Township in Lancaster County, in suburban Pennsylvania, after a small plane crashed into a parking lot, leaving multiple people injured.
As per the Daily Mail, after hitting the lined cars, the plane erupted in flames. The vehicles at the parking lot also burst into flames, between Fairview Drive and Meadowview Court.
The plane, believed to be a Beechcraft A36TC model as seen from the footage and photos of the wreckage, took off on Sunday afternoon as scheduled but requested to land due to an open door.
Audio from the air traffic control showed the pilot asking the ground agents to turn around, and at one point, he noted that the strong wind coming from the open hatch made the radio inaudible.
“Pull up… the aircraft is down just behind the terminal in the parking lot tree area,” the air traffic controller replied.
According to AP, a total of five people were on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania state governor Governor Josh Shapiro said on X: “PA State Police is on the ground assisting local first responders following the small private plane crash near Lancaster Airport in Manheim Township.
“All Commonwealth resources are available as the response continues, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.”
According to reports, multiple people suffered burns.
The Pennsylvania plane accident is another one in the series of airplane crashes that happened during the last several months.
In January – in what was dubbed the deadliest plane crash on recent years – 67 people lost their lives after an American Airlines aircraft collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter.
Shortly after, a medical jet carrying a family, including a young girl receiving a life-saving treatment – crashed on its way to Mexico from the USA, leading to the death of all six people aboard the plane.
