Five people died after a single-engine plane crashed near an airport in Nashville, Tennessee last week, officials said.
The aircraft crashed along Interstate 40 around 7:45 p.m. local time last Monday after the pilot of the plane reported engine failure and requested an emergency landing, Metro Nashville Police spokesperson Don Aaron said, according to the Tennessean, a part of the USA TODAY Network.
The plane was just three miles south of John C. Tune Airport when it landed in a grassy median along the interstate. The pilot had radioed that the plane was not going to make it to the airport just before it crashed. The aircraft did not hit any buildings or vehicles as it crashed.
Earlier this month, a small plane in the Florida Keys crashed on a golf course at a private resort, leaving one person hurt, officials said.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office was called to the Ocean Reef Club shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Friday, March 1, spokesperson Becky Herrin said. The Ocean Reef Club is a private club in Key Largo with its own airport.
One person was injured, and officials believe he was the pilot, Herrin said. He was airlifted by helicopter to Jackson South hospital in Miami, but Herrin did not know what condition he is in. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesperson Andrea Rudchenco said Air Rescue South transported one "trauma alert patient" to the trauma center.
