The pilot and a passenger were injured after a twin engine plane crashed near Lancaster, early Thursday morning. The Beechcraft 95 Baron had taken off from an airport in Mississippi and was headed for the Albemarle-Stanly Airport in North Carolina.
A Lancaster County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said the pilot reported losing power before the plane crashed near a metal recycling center on East Brooklyn Avenue. The plane caught fire upon impact, but the two occupants survived the crash and were responsive when first responders arrived.
No other details have been released, as of the time of this report.
