Five people were on board and were transported to local hospitals, according to Little.<\/p>\n<p>About a dozen cars were damaged, five \u201cseverely,\u201d officials said. There was no structural damage to the retirement community building and no one on the ground was injured, Little said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FsteveknightCBS21%2Fvideos%2F1182305246848376%2F&#038;show_text=false&#038;width=560&#038;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Video of the scene shows the wreckage of the plane engulfed in flames and dark smoke. The fire has since been put out using \u201ccopious amounts of water,\u201d according to Little.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate the crash, which comes after a devastating midair collision in January and a string of plane crashes across the country. In Philadelphia, all six passengers and one person on the ground were killed when a medical evacuation jet crashed on January 31.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot reported the plane had an open door, in a radio conversation with an air traffic controller. The controller instructed the pilot to \u201cpull up\u201d moments before the crash.<\/p>\n<p>The plane was scheduled to depart from Lancaster Airport, just north of the crash site and was headed toward Springfield, Ohio, according to FlightAware.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania State Police are \u201con the ground assisting local first responders,\u201d Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a post on X. The governor added that, \u201cAll Commonwealth resources are available as the response continues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One witness said the plane crashed shortly after takeoff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was pretty high, but then it started veering left, and suddenly it nose-dived sideways while continuing to turn left,\u201d Brian Pipkin told CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Pipkin said he rushed to the parking lot of the retirement center, where he saw the cockpit of the plane engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n<p>He described the intense heat as \u201cfeeling like opening an oven set to 500 degrees when you open the door and it hits your face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was so hot,\u201d he said. \u201cI was getting closer, praying to God that nothing would blow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN has reached out to Pennsylvania State Police and Manheim Township Fire and Rescue for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small plane crashed into the parking lot at a retirement community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Sunday afternoon, injuring the five people aboard and damaging around a dozen vehicles, according to local authorities.
