A twin-engine plane crashed near a 3M manufacturing plant in Little Rock, Arkansas, killing all five passengers on board.

The flight took off from Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.

Fayetteville Flyer reported:

A small airplane crashed Wednesday outside a factory in the Arkansas capital, and there was no immediate word of any injuries.

The twin-engine plane crashed outside a 3M plant in Little Rock, a couple of miles south of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, said Lt. Cody Burk, spokesperson for the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office.

Burk did not have details on the number of people aboard the plane, the extent of any injuries or the cause of the crash.

ABC News confirmed that five people died from the plane crash:

Five people were killed in a twin-engine plane crash in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday, officials said.

The twin-engine Beech BE20 crashed in a wooded area after taking off from Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. It was en route to John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

Five people were on board, according to the FAA, and Little Rock police said there were no survivors.

A Little Rock police spokesperson said, “We had a bad storm front move in at that time. I don’t know if the two are related, but the winds were bad, the rain was bad for a few minutes.”

There is currently no information on what caused the crash.
