A business owner said his surveillance cameras caught the plane gliding over an SUV on the road.
"Part of the engine caught on fire and the pilot ran out of the airplane, ran to the building and he started telling everybody get away, get away," said Derar Ahmad, a nearby business owner.
An FAA spokesperson said the Cessna 402B was headed to Albert Whitted Airport when the crash happened.
