Authorities say a small plane carrying a student pilot and flight instructor struck two homes in north Phoenix before landing nose-down in a backyard, injuring them and a man who was in one of the homes. Fire department spokesperson Capt. Todd Keller told reporters from news outlets Arizona’s Family and Fox-10 that the instructor, student and injured man were taking to a hospital following Wednesday's crash. Authorities say the Piper P-28 had one of its wings torn off and ended up nose-down next to a swimming pool in the backyard of the second home it hit. The plane was headed to the nearby Deer Valley Airport.
