A small plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota on Saturday afternoon, with first responders arriving on the scene as flames engulfed the house.
The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) confirmed the incident on its website, identifying the plane as a SOCATA TBM7 that crashed at around 1:20 p.m. ET. The plane departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis.
The FAA was unable to confirm the number of people aboard the plane, but announced an investigation by both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
A SOCATA TBM7 is a narrow-bodied fixed-wing plane with a single turboprop engine. The plane first entered service in 1990 and has served as a popular business and corporate aircraft that can seat four passengers and two pilots.
The crash occurs just after the FAA confirmed that a Delta Air Lines jet narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. Air Force T-38 military aircraft on Friday, just miles from Ronald Regan Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C., where a deadly plane crash in January claimed 67 lives.
This is a developing story and more information will be added as it becomes available.
