Small plane crashes into Phoenix home minutes after takeoff, injuring 3

Parts of a small plane were left dangling from a Phoenix rooftop after the aircraft slammed into a home minutes after takeoff, tearing through a baby’s bedroom and sending three people to the hospital.

The aircraft went down around 7:20 a.m. near Cave Creek Road and Deer Valley Drive after departing from nearby Deer Valley Airport, FOX10 Phoenix reported.

The pilot was heading west when an unknown problem forced him to turn back toward the airport, Phoenix Fire Capt. Todd Keller said.
