The plane carried two people and experienced what could have been a deadly crash but thankfully resulted in only minor injuries to those onboard.
Anthony Baugh, the homeowner, shared that he was at work when he received an urgent call from his wife informing him of the crash.
Using his phone, Baugh accessed live footage from their home’s security camera, which captured the moment of the plane sliding towards their house. “It immediately left me in a panic trying to get home as fast as I could,” Baugh told local affiliate Fox 13.
The video footage showed the plane making an unexpected descent into Baugh’s front yard, narrowly avoiding more severe damage to the property and neighborhood, Fox 13 reported. Baugh’s wife and children were at home during the incident and, despite the danger, his wife rushed outside to offer assistance to the crash victims.
Neighbor Pat Bouwhuis recounted the incident as they heard the crash. “I thought a house had exploded or something and I came out front and I saw the airplane over in the driveway two doors down” Bouwhuis said, according to Fox 13.
