Small plane crashes into residential area in Pennsylvania, leaving 5 injured

All five individuals on a small plane that crashed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, survived and were taken to hospitals, with their conditions unknown. No injuries were reported on the ground, but five vehicles were damaged. The plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, crashed shortly after taking off from Lancaster Airport. Emergency crews responded to the scene quickly and were able to extinguish the fires caused by the crash. The residents of the retirement community where the plane crashed were initially told to shelter in place as a precaution. The plane was scheduled to fly to Springfield, Ohio, and reports indicate that a door on the aircraft may have been open shortly after takeoff. The National Transportation Safety Board has launched an investigation into the crash, working alongside the FAA. It is a relief that everyone survived the crash and no one on the ground was hurt. The plane is registered to an entity in Manheim, Pennsylvania, and is a popular single-engine model. The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing, with federal officials looking into the possibility of an open door on the aircraft.
