At least three people were killed after a small plane crashed in Bath Township of Michigan, United States, on Thursday. An investigation has been launched after the crash at the intersection of Clark and Peacock roads.

Authorities confirmed that three people were on the plane and were all found dead, CBS News reported. Their names and ages have not been released.

The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration. The crash happened about 15 miles east of the Capital Region International Airport in Michigan.

It is unclear what caused it or what the plane’s intended destination was. Police said they responded to reports of a plane crash around 5 pm (local time) near the intersection of Clark and Peacock Roads.

A large police presence was reported at the scene, with a helicopter circling overhead. Fire engines and at least one ambulance were also present as emergency crews responded to the situation.

Several videos on social media showed smoke and flames rising from a wooded area as first responders rushed to the scene. News18 could not independently verify the visuals. Officials did not release any additional information pertaining to the crash.

This came days after a plane crashed along a highway in Dartmouth, Massachusetts on Monday, killing two people. As per a statement from the Massachusetts State Police, the crash caused a plume of smoke and forced the closure of the major highway.

State police said the plane may have been attempting to land at New Bedford Regional Airport, though officials said it does not appear that the pilot provided the airport with a flight plan or passenger details.
