Another plane crash, no details on victims - hope there isn't any.
Emergency crews are responding to an explosion in Northeast Philadelphia after a small medical jet crashed in the area of Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue, Philadephia police confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia.
The medical plane, a Learjet 55, was going from Philadelphia to Springfield, Missouri, leaving the Northeast Philadelphia Airport when tragedy struck. The plane crashed into a neighborhood outside the Roosevelt Mall just moments after leaving the airstrip at around 6:07 p.m. The first call went out to officials at 6:12 p.m.
United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said there were six people onboard at the time of the crash. According to emergency personnel on the scene, the six people were two doctors, two pilots, a pediatric patient and likely a family member of the patient.
It's unclear at this time if they were ejected or able to escape. There are several injuries reported on the ground, police added.
