Two people were rushed to a hospital after their small plane crashed into a building near the Roanoke Regional Airport in Virginia.
The pilot radioed the tower during take-off just after 1 p.m. to report engine trouble, said a spokesman for the airport. The plane then apparently clipped some power lines and crashed into a UPS building in a nearby industrial park.
No word on whether anyone in the building was injured nor on the condition of the two people in the plane.
The plane is a 1985 Piper PA-46, said Ted Lopatkiewicz, of the National Transportation Safety Board.
It is registered to Aviation Development Group Inc., of Charlottesville.
