Small plane crashes into US mobile home park, several dead

A small plane crashed into a mobile home park in the southeastern US state of Florida on Thursday killing several people, local authorities said.

The accident occurred at 7 pm Friday, shortly after a nearby airport received an alert about a plane in trouble. Firefighters extinguished the fires at Bayside Waters mobile home park caused by the crashed aircraft. At least three houses were damaged by fire and a fourth was directly bit by the plane, according to the fire chief. Residents of the other houses were unharmed.
