Fire officials say three people were on the plane, but none of them were seriously hurt. All three people were also able to get out of the aircraft on their own.

There were also no cars hit by the plane when it came down.

“It’s pretty much a miracle,” said D.J. Lee with the Phoenix Fire Department.

A fire hydrant was hit when the plane came down, but that hydrant has been shut off.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the plane had to conduct the landing because of engine problems, but could not go further into the cause of the crash.

A preliminary investigation report will be released within 30 days, according to the NTSB.
