A small jet with six people onboard crashed into a Philadelphia suburb, sparking blazes on the ground that left buildings and vehicles burned out.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to reporters that there were six people on the Learjet aircraft, as there has been no confirmation of whether there were any survivors.
The aircraft, which the FAA said was a Learjet 55 executive aircraft, crashed around 2330 GMT into a densely-populated district of the city with homes, shops and busy roads.
According to the report, it was bound for Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri, and had taken off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, with the FAA revealing that it would investigate along with the National Transportation Safety Board.
Part of the statement said; US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy meanwhile said there were “reportedly” six people aboard the plane.
“We are offering all resources as (emergency services) respond to the small private plane crash in Northeast Philly,” Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro wrote on X.
