Three people were killed when a small plane crashed and caught fire on Sunday in central Florida, according to officials.
The Volusia County Sheriffs Office tweeted the crash happened around 4 p.m. in a wooded area off State Route 44 and Grand Avenue in DeLand, located north of Orlando.
"I saw the plane go by, but the tree line is so high, I didnt see it go down," Dennis Morton, who lives near where the crash happened, told FOX35.
"All I heard was the backfiring of the motor, and usually when it backfires on a motor, it would rev back up and it never revved back up."
Units arriving at the scene discovered three people, all of whom had no pulse, police said.
