There were no survivors after a small plane crashed into a home in a residential area of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, near Minneapolis Saturday afternoon, officials said. No one in the home was injured.
The crash of the Socata TBM 700 plane occurred at around 12:20 p.m. local time Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration reported. The plane had departed Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was bound for Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis when the crash occurred, the FAA said.
Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said in a news conference that there were no survivors from the plane, but that all residents inside the home were unhurt. It was unclear how many people were aboard the crashed plane. The circumstances of the incident were still unclear.
The National Transportation and Safety Board said a team was headed to the crash scene and was expected to arrive Sunday. Investigators will then process and document the aircraft. The FAA will also investigate.
In a social media post, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote that his “team is in touch with local officials on the scene in Brooklyn Park,” and they’re “monitoring the situation closely.” Walz added that he was grateful to first responders.
On Friday, a Minneapolis-bound Delta flight had a near miss with an Air Force jet while leaving Reagan International Airport outside Washington, D.C. No injuries were reported for either aircraft.
