1 Dead After Small Plane Crashes Into Florida Yard
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating after the twin-engine Cessna crashed and killed 1 person, officials said.
- A small Cessna 401B plane crashed into a backyard in Wesley Chapel, Florida, on Sunday, killing the pilot near the 4900 block of Trinidad Drive. Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board officials are investigating.
- Departing from Tampa North Aero Park, the aircraft crashed at 8:35 a.m. "under unknown circumstances," according to federal investigators. Responding crews quickly extinguished a fire the crash sparked at the residential property.
- Witness Christina Galbiati praised the pilot's actions, stating, "He knew that it was going down, and he found a perfect spot to land." The residence "sustained some damage," said Pasco County public information officer Sarah Andeara.
- The NTSB will examine the wreckage at a secure facility as part of their probe. "Once on site, the investigator will begin the process of documenting the scene," the agency said, with a preliminary report due within 30 days.
- Local resident Victoria Barrett noted this incident marks the "fourth crash in this neighborhood after about a few years." Despite the tragedy, Galbiati expressed a desire to remain in the area rather than live in fear.
