Houses set on fire as twin-engine Plane crashes into buildings in New Jersey

At least two houses are reportedly on fire after a twin-engine plane crashed on Tuesday morning into a home in a suburban New Jersey town and burst into flames that ignited the houses, federal officials said.

The FAA said the Cessna 414 came down in Berkley Avenue in Colonia at 11am on Tuesday. 

Images from the scene show emergency crews on the residential street as fire crews battle the flames.

A reporter at the scene told NBC New York: ‘Very heavy flames and very heavy black smoke coming up from the fire.’  

It is not known how many people were in the plane or the home at the time of the crash and there is no current information of casualties, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
