On a peaceful Wednesday afternoon in northern Utah, a small plane caught the attention of the whole neighborhood as it made a horrifying crash landing right in front of a home. The unexpected and alarming incident was caught on camera by a security system at the house.
The footage shows a small white aircraft plummeting onto the lawn and sliding a short distance towards the porch, but thankfully stopping just in time. Despite the debris scattered around, the plane managed to remain mostly intact. Anthony Baugh, who lives in the home, recalls the moment with panic, saying it "immediately left me in a panic trying to get home as fast as I could."
The Roy Police Department later confirmed that two individuals were onboard the plane when it crashed near 4500 South and 2350 West around 4pm. Despite the terrifying ordeal, both passengers were fortunate to have only sustained minor injuries. Miraculously, no one in the home or neighborhood was hurt, although the plane and Baugh's home suffered some damage.
Baugh describes seeing one of the passengers with a cut near their eye, while the other appeared to be in a state of shock. Neighbors, including Katie Quigley, were relieved to see that the pilot and passenger were able to walk away from the crash. Quigley even noted that the plane had landed on two trees, preventing it from crashing straight into Baugh's home. "A lot of people here were blessed today," Baugh expressed.
Despite the fortunate outcome, the crash was still a traumatic experience for Baugh and his family. He explains that his eldest son was shaken up, as they had lost some family members in a plane crash a few years ago. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation by multiple agencies, including the police department, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers and uncertainties of aviation. It also brings to mind a similar tragedy that took place in Clearwater, Florida, where a small plane crashed into a mobile home park, claiming the lives of the pilot and two residents. The cause of this crash remains unknown, but it serves as a reminder to always prioritize safety and caution when flying.
