Township Lyon, Michigan: Three people killed in plane crash

The sheriff is believed to be the pilot and two passengers.

The family of five who live in the house made it alive, but the house was engulfed in flames, the office said. The home is located in Lyon Township, about 65 miles west of Detroit.

The mother told CNN subsidiary WDIV that the family was inside when the plane crashed. She said they were in the living room arguing about which movie to watch and that they had just moved into another room when the plane hit the house, according to WDIV.

If the mother, father and three children had stayed in the living room, it would have been a different story, reports WDIV.

According to WDIV, the family’s cat is dead.

The home is located just north of Oakland / Southwest Airport, which is managed by Oakland County.

Eric Mullen told WDIV that a plane crash has always been the worst fear of living in that area, because planes always fly above the airport about a mile away.

“I have two brothers and sisters who are younger than 2 years, and they slept upstairs; they took naps … You are worried that this could happen to us, because this plane flies low here all the time,” a other neighbor, Chase Southwick told WDIV.

According to WDIV, the Federal Aviation Administration was contacted about the accident.
