A tragic incident unfolded in Oregon as a small plane crashed through the roof of a residence on Tuesday night, resulting in two fatalities and one individual sustaining injuries.

 The incident occurred in Newberg, located approximately 23 miles southwest of Portland, Yahoo! News noted.

Multiple witnesses dialed 911 to report a small plane spiraling toward the ground before the crash, as disclosed by the Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue in a Facebook post.

Firefighters arriving at the scene found that the plane had penetrated the home's roof, with a portion of the aircraft located inside the house, while the rest lay in the backyard.

Initially, two occupants were discovered within the aircraft, with one being pronounced dead at the Oregon plane crash site.

The second occupant was transported to a Portland trauma hospital via helicopter due to sustaining serious injuries.

Subsequently, following further access to the wreckage, a third occupant was discovered, also deceased.

Oregon Plane Crash Victims Identified

The Newberg-Dundee Police Department later identified the deceased as Michele Cavallotti, aged 22, who served as an instructor at the Hillsboro Aero Academy, and Barrett Bevacqua, aged 20, a student pilot.

Emily Hurd, also 20, the third occupant, was airlifted to the hospital with severe injuries, according to Statesman Journal.

In an update provided by Emily Hurd's father, Jeremy Hurd of Spokane, Washington, it was mentioned that her surgery had gone well, her spinal cord remained intact, and the extent of other injuries was being closely monitored, per News-Register.

The post expressed gratitude for the support and asked for continued prayers for the families of Emily's friends who lost their lives in the crash.

Initially, firefighters believed no one was inside the residence when the plane crashed, following several searches that confirmed the absence of occupants.

However, subsequent interviews with the homeowners revealed that multiple individuals had been present at the time but had managed to evacuate safely.

The Red Cross stepped in to provide assistance to the affected family, who were displaced from their home due to the incident.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has started an investigation into the circumstances of the Oregon plane crash.

The Hillsboro Aero Academy issued a statement expressing their deep sorrow over the incident and confirmed that one of their training aircraft was involved in the crash, FOX 12 reports.

Cause of Oregon Plane Crash Still Undetermined

The main cause of the crash remains undetermined and is the subject of ongoing investigations by local law enforcement, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the NTSB, said WAVY.

Authorities are also assessing the structural stability of the affected residence, and it's noteworthy that neither the aircraft nor the house caught fire.

The aircraft involved in the crash is identified as a Piper Seminole, a fixed-wing, twin-engine airplane commonly used in pilot training programs.

Air safety investigators are diligently examining various aspects, including flight training programs, pilot experience, and flight track data, to establish the cause of the tragic Oregon plane crash.
