All five people on board a small plane that crashed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania were hospitalized, with their conditions remaining unknown. No one on the ground was injured, but five vehicles were damaged in the crash. The plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, had just taken off from Lancaster Airport when it crashed in a retirement community. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene, where they faced multiple fires. Residents were initially instructed to shelter in place as a precaution, but the situation was under control shortly after the crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into the incident, in which the aircraft, registered to an entity in Manheim, appeared to have skidded upon impact and avoided hitting any structures. The possibility of an open door on the aircraft was being looked into by federal officials. The outcome of the crash was considered fortunate, as all five passengers survived and no one on the ground was hurt. Flight tracker data showed that the plane was bound for Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport in Ohio at the time of the crash. The scene was under control within a few hours, and authorities indicated that the investigation would be ongoing with assistance from the FAA.
