The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified the plane as a twin-engine Cessna 421C. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said the crash caused a power pole to fall, sparking a fire in a nearby brush area.

The plane broke into pieces when it crashed into a residential area.

Before crashing, the plane did not send out any distress signal or emergency call.

The FAA and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are currently investigating the incident.
