Small plane carrying 2 people crashes into townhomes near Portland; one resident missing

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A small plane believed to be carrying two people crashed into a row of townhouses Saturday morning near Portland. The crash set several homes ablaze. Authorities haven’t released details about fatalities. But Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis says at least one resident of the townhomes was also missing after the crash in a residential area of Fairview. That is about a 30-minute drive east of Portland. Lewis says up to six families were displaced by the fire. Photos and video from KGW-TV in Portland show one of the townhouses engulfed in flames while black smoke pours out of the adjoining units.
