PORT ORANGE, Fla. — A small plane crashed Friday morning into the yard of a home in Central Florida, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office explains in a tweet.
The plane was reportedly leaving Spruce Creek Fly-In for DeLand Airport and had engine trouble which led to it going down.
Following the crash, the small plane landed in the front yard of a Port Orange home. A county spokesperson told WKMG-TV the plane crashed about 2 miles from the takeoff mark.
The pilot reportedly tried to make a soft landing in a canopy.
Two people, including the pilot, were on board at the time of the crash, the post explains. They were both alert and conscious.
One of them was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
