In a harrowing incident on Friday morning, a small plane crashed in the suburb of Arvada, near Denver, leaving two adults and two children hospitalized. The fiery crash occurred around 9:30 a.m. in front of a home on Oberon Road and Carr Street.

According to Arvada Fire Operations Chief Matt Osier, the plane went down in the front yard of a single-story home, engulfed in flames. Firefighters were seen swiftly dousing the wreckage with hoses as they worked to contain the fire.

The identities and ages of the individuals involved in the crash have not been released. It remains unclear whether the injured individuals were passengers of the aircraft or bystanders who were harmed when the plane made impact with the ground.

Chief Osier stated that hazmat personnel were present due to the presence of airplane fuel in the vicinity. Moreover, the circumstances that led to the crash and the flight path of the plane remain unknown.
