A small plane crashed into an Atlanta Interstate Friday killing all four people aboard, ABC News reports.

The Piper PA-32 fell out of the sky and grazed the hood of a tractor-trailer before crashing into the interstate and starting a small fire on the road. Reports say the small plane took off from DeKalb Peachtree Airport shortly before the accident.

"It looked like it was struggling. You could see him trying to get the nose of the plane up. It was edging up, and then it just dropped," Motorist Don McGhee said about the plane he spotted before it plunged into the busy road. "It was just a huge fire, just smoke and fire."

There was too much smoke and fire disabling witnesses from helping the people onboard.

The man driving the tractor-trailer had just enough time to hit his breaks after the small plane grazed the top of his vehicle.

"It grazed my hood, and the next thing I knew I looked over to my left and that plane had crashed against the median wall," Gerald Smith said.

"I first started to walk over there, but it was blazing up and there was no way to help anybody try to get out of the plane. I just turned and dropped my head and walked away."

No one on the ground was injured after the small plane crashed into Interstate 285, CNN reports.

The plane crashed into the highway shortly after rush hour, according to DeKalb County Fire Department spokesman Capt. Eric Jackson.

"Whoever was in that plane, my heart goes out to their family," Smith said to CNN affiliate WSB. "Just a normal workday for me (is now) a day I'll never forget, because somebody's life was taken."

There were three men and one woman aboard the plane. Their names have not been released.
