The passenger compartment of the plane collapsed when it crashed about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Detroit Police Chief James White said.
“He came in right over a tree,” White added. “Hit the tree. The branches fell on top of the garage. He clips the garage as he goes down and the plane is actually wedged between the gate and the garage.”
“We don’t know yet what caused him to lose control or if it was an engine failure,” White said. “But he’s up and walking. His passenger is up and walking.”No one on the ground was hurt and the residents of the home nearest to where the plane crashed “are OK but shaken up,” White said.“It could have been a lot worse,” Detroit Fire Chief James Harris said.“It was moving very slow through the air,” Pulliam told The Detroit News.
The plane had taken off several hours earlier from a small airport in Oakland County, north of Detroit, according to WJBK-TV. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to investigate the cause of the crash landing.

Police in Atlanta arrest 3 behind bail fund supporting protests against police training complexPolice have arrested three key organizers supporting people protesting Atlanta's proposed police and fire training center, which opponents call “Cop City.” The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says its agents and Atlanta police on Wednesday arrested three officers of the group that runs the Atlanta Solidarity Fund. The fund has bailed out protesters and helped them find lawyers. Charged with money laundering and charity fraud are 39-year-old Marlon Scott Kautz of Atlanta; 30-year-old Savannah D. Patterson of Savannah; and 42-year-old Adele MacLean of Atlanta. Opponents say it's an “extreme provocation” to arrest leaders of a bail fund. Georgia Gov.
