A small plane has crashed in Northeast Philadelphia as crews respond to a fiery scene late Friday, Pennsylvania’s governor said.

The crash site is less than 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which primarily serves business jets and charter flights.

Philadelphia’s emergency management office said there was a “major incident” at the location of the crash site and that roads are closed in the area.
