A small aircraft crashed into a residential yard in Brookhaven, Georgia, early Saturday morning (August 9), injuring three people onboard. The plane, on a training flight, plunged into the yard around 12:25 a.m., near Clairmont Road and 9th Street. The aircraft was registered to All2Fly Flight School and had departed from Peachtree-DeKalb Airport late Friday, performing several "touch-and-go" landings before the crash.

The plane struck several trees and electrical wires before coming to rest in the yard. Despite the dramatic crash, no homes were damaged, and there were no injuries to anyone on the ground. The three occupants were conscious, alert, and breathing when transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, though their current conditions remain undisclosed.

The crash caused a brief power outage in the neighborhood, which Georgia Power quickly restored. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the incident in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The plane and debris were cleared from the site by Saturday afternoon, and stored in Griffin for further examination.
