A small plane flying from Iowa, USA, to Minnesota, crashed into a suburban home, which set it on fire, officials said.
The plane had taken off about 1220 local time (1720 BST) before crashing in a residential area in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Investigators said it is unclear how many people are on the plane, but Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Sean Conway said there are no survivors among the passengers. No one in the house has been reportedly killed.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it was intended to investigate the cause of the crash.
The agency is staying in Sheen, Minnesota. It was expected to be on the ground on Sunday.
“On the site, investigators will begin the process of documenting the site on site and examining the aircraft. The aircraft will then be retrieved at a safe facility for further evaluation,” the statement said.
Social media videos show that the house where the plane crashed was engulfed in flames as members of the local fire station tried to put it out.
The Conway chief said it had developed into a “full-involved structural fire” by the time the fire station arrived on the scene.
Brooklyn Park, where the plane crashed, is on the outskirts of Minneapolis. The 82,000-person city is approximately 11 miles north.
Minnesota government Tim Waltz said his team is “in contact with local officials at the Brooklyn Park site and are closely monitoring the situation.”
“I'm grateful that the first responder answers the phone,” he added.
The incident follows a recent plane crash and near miss that attracted the attention of the American public after President Donald Trump encouraged his cabinet to cut federal agencies.
Hundreds of people in charge of helping the Air Force have been fired, according to the Associated Press.
