The plane crashed near Piney Hill Road and Old Highway 411 in Ramhurst, according to officials.

One witness told FOX 5 that she watched in horror as the small plane crashed during a violent storm. 

"I was just standing on my porch, talking to my mother, and I looked up in the sky and saw the plane…and it just caught on fire, smoke everywhere and debris start flying and it hit the ground. It was bad," said April Edwards.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
