Small plane with 2 people on board crashes into Oregon townhouses, 1 resident missing

A small plane with two people on board crashed Saturday morning into a row of townhouses in a residential neighborhood in Fairview, not far from Portland International Airport and Troutdale Airport in Oregonofficials confirmed.

One person from a townhouse the plane hit is missing, Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis told reporters. Neighbors living in the adjacent townhouses have been evacuated. Officials did not provide an update on the two people aboard the plane.

“The plane hit a utility pole and so the impact of that seems to have caused some of the planet pieces to come loose so, like I said, there’s really like two crash areas, so to speak, and debris kind of all around,” Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer John Plock said.

After hitting the pole, the plane slammed into the roof of a terraced house.
