At least three people are missing after a light plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in Oregon, USA.
The small, twin-engine plane crashed after taking off from Troutdale Airport in Oregon, ABC News quoted local authorities as saying.
Authorities said the plane hit an electric pole, causing a fire, and then struck into a residential building, causing a fire that spread from 2 units to 4.
According to Chief Scott Lewis of the Gresham Fire Department of Gresham, two people who were aboard the plane and one person from a home were missing, he said.
He added that at least five families have been displaced from their homes, and that Portland General Electric power lines are still down.
The United States has recorded several similar incidents in recent years. In July, three people were killed after a small plane crashed while trying to make an emergency landing at an airport in northeastern Ohio. (
