Plane with 6 people on board crashes into houses in Utah
WEST JORDAN — Fire and medical crews are responding after a plane carrying six people crashed into the backyard of a home at 8691 S. 3780 West shortly after 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
The crash resulted in “multiple injuries and possible casualties,” said West Jordan Police officer Jennifer Worthen. The injured were taken to area hospitals.
Several medical helicopters carried the injured to area hospitals, she said.
One house took the brunt of the damage and there was reportedly one person in the home when the crash occurred. That person’s condition was not available, Worthen said. Three houses sustained damage, she said.
However, Mayor Dirk Burton said neighbors helped the occupant from the home.
“I don’t know what her condition is,” Burton said, but he said he took it as a positive sign that she was able to leave the house.
Burton said the crash occurred in an established neighborhood, with many of the houses owned by the original owners.
“So they know each other extremely well and they’re very close knit. So they were on top of it very quickly to go help out the residents that were affected,” Burton said.
