PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A small plane has crashed in Northeast Philadelphia as crews respond to a fiery scene Pennsylvania's governor said Friday.
Governor Josh Shapiro said he is offering all "Commonwealth resources as they respond to the small private plane crash in Northeast Philly."
The crash site is less than three miles (4.8 kilometres) from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which primarily serves business jets and charter flights.
Philadelphia's emergency management office said there was a "major incident" at the location of the crash site and that roads are closed in the area.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates air crashes, said it was gathering information about the incident. The Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately have details on the crash.
