A small aircraft crashed into the front yard of a home in Utah's Roy on Wednesday afternoon, approximately 30 miles north of Salt Lake City. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that two individuals were aboard the twin-engine Piper PA-34 when it went down shortly before 4 pm.
Both occupants sustained minor injuries, and their identities have not been disclosed.
The crash was captured on home security footage, which showed the plane crashing into the front yard. Several concerned neighbours can be seen rushing to the scene to offer assistance. The incident caused damage to one home and nearby trees, but fortunately, no one on the ground was injured.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the crash. The NTSB said that a preliminary report will be available in approximately one month.
Anthony Baugh, a resident of the home where the plane crashed, was informed by his wife about the incident while she and their children were inside. Upon viewing the security camera footage on his phone, Baugh said, "I had seen the video footage of the plane kind of sliding towards my house."
He immediately rushed home, concerned for his family's safety.
According to Baugh, his wife offered water to the two victims, described as a "gentleman" and a "young lady," but they declined, likely due to shock.
He mentioned that the man had a cut on or above his eye. Baugh expressed gratitude that his family was unharmed, especially considering that they had lost family members in a plane crash a few years prior.
"My eldest one, he was a little shook up a little bit, we had some family members that passed away in a plane crash a few years ago, so it was a little nerve wracking," he said. "I don't know how many people out there are religious, but a lot of people here were blessed," Baugh added.
