An undetermined number of people died after a small jet they were in crashed into an Akron, Ohio, apartment building as it was heading to Akron Fulton Airport on Tuesday, police said.
The plane crashed into an apartment complex on Mogadore and Skelton roads, Akron police told NBC affiliate WKYC.
The owner of the private jet that crashed said that the nine people, including two pilots, who were on board were believed to have died, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal. But State Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Haymaker did not confirm the number of deaths, telling NBC News that the intense fire at the scene meant it wouldn't immediately be known how many people died aboard the Hawker H25, a small business jet that can carry as many as 10 people.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misattributed the number of deaths in the crash to police. The unconfirmed number was being reported by a local newspaper.
