ABC News reports:
A small, twin-engine plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in Fairview, Oregon, on Saturday, authorities said.
The plane crashed near Troutdale Airport in Oregon around 10:30 a.m. local time hitting a power pole or tower, which caused a brush fire. The aircraft then crashed into a building of connected townhomes, igniting a fire in that structure, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said at a press conference Saturday.
While the extent of injuries and fatalities is unknown, the area has been evacuated, and residents are receiving support from trauma intervention volunteers, according to the sheriff’s office.
