Several people are receiving medical treatment after a skydiving plane | |
with 20 passengers and crew on board crashed in Coffee County, | |
Tennessee, about 60 miles south of Nashville, according to the City of | |
Tullahoma, where the crash occurred Sunday afternoon. | |
Three people were airlifted to hospitals for medical treatment while | |
one person with serious injuries was transported by ground, according | |
to Lyle Russell, a city spokesperson. | |
“Other minor injuries were treated by first responders” at the | |
scene, Russell said in a statement to CNN. | |
No one died in the crash near the Tullahoma Regional Airport, according | |
to Russell who added no one on the ground was injured. | |
Highway patrol video damage to the plane’s tail, which appears to | |
have broken off along with other parts of the aircraft. Yellow caution | |
tape is seen in the video blocking off the area where the plane came to | |
rest while officials investigate the scene. | |
The plane – a DeHavilland DH-6 Twin Otter – departed Tullahoma | |
Airport at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time Sunday. | |
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash, | |
according to Russell. | |
This is a developing story and will be updated. | |
