Washington - A small plane crashed into two homes near Orlando, Florida on Tuesday, killing at least five people, officials said.
At least three of the five were adults, but rescue officials retracted earlier information that at least one of the dead was a child, or that the dead included the plane's pilot and a passenger, according to broadcast remarks.
The aircraft struck the residences at about 1230.
Smoke rose from the smouldering wreckage site, and one rescue worker said it was 'likely' they would find more dead at the site.
The plane departed Daytona en route to Lakeland before witnesses reported seeing it oscillate, fall out of sight below the treeline and a subsequent plume of smoke.
