Small plane with 2 people on board crashes into Oregon townhomes, 1 resident missing

A small plane with two people on board crashed Saturday morning into a row of townhomes in a residential neighborhood not far from the Portland International Airport in Oregon, officials confirmed. 

One person from a townhome where the plane hit is missing, Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis told reporters. Neighbors living in the adjoining townhomes have been evacuated. 

"The plane hit a power pole and so the impact of that appears to have caused some of the plane pieces to come off so, like I said, there’s really kind of two crash areas, so to speak, and debris kind all around," Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer John Plock said. 

After hitting the pole, the plane then slammed into the roof of one of the townshomes.

Videos shared on social media showed a fire and a large plume of smoke that could be seen high over the tree line in Fairview. 

The twin-engine Cessna 421C went down around 10:30 a.m., the FAA said. 

Gresham Fire said on Facebook that it had responded with the help of other agencies, including The Port of Portland, Portland Fire and Rescue, and Clackamas Fire.

The plane came down even closer to the smaller Troutdale Airport, which describes itself as a "flight training and recreational airport."
