A single-engine plane crashed at the DeKalb-Peachtree Airport in the US state of Georgia on Friday, killing at least four people, local media reported.

 

The Cessna 210 single-engine flight crashed at PDK airport late at night around 1:11 pm (local time) and caught fire, according to the FOX 5 broadcaster.

“It happened pretty fast,” photographer Keith Berry told FOX 5 and added, "The plane just came and landed, and it bounced a bit, and when it bounced, that's when it tipped on its side."

 

On their part, airport authorities shut down all operations for a brief period after the crash. Identities of those who died have not been identified yet.

Moreover, the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board have launched an investigation into the incident.
