Pennsylvania’s governor says a small plane crashed in Philadelphia as crews responded to a fire.
The crash site is less than three miles from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which serves mostly business jets and charter flights.
According to Philadelphia’s emergency management office, there was a “major incident” at the crash site on Friday, and the area’s roads were closed.
I’ve spoken with @PhillyMayor and my team is in communication with @PhillyPD, @PhilaOEM, and @PhillyFireDept. We are offering all Commonwealth resources as they respond to the small private plane crash in Northeast Philly.
We’ll continue to provide updates as more information…
