Multiple people were injured after a small plane carrying 20 people crashed in Tullahoma, Tennessee, authorities said.
No one died in the crash.
Six people had to be transported to hospitals for injuries that couldn’t be tended to at the scene, Lyle Russell, a spokesperson for the city, said.
Of those six, two were taken by medical helicopter and four by ambulance, Russell said. After arrival, doctors determined someone who had been taken by ground needed care at a different facility, so that person was then helicoptered to a new location.
Russell said the conditions of those people are currently unknown, and said he believes the injured were taken to Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville.
A spokesperson for Vanderbilt University Hospital said it had admitted three patients — one in critical condition and two stable. The spokesperson did not specify their injuries.
Other minor injuries were treated by first responders at the scene, Russell added.
The plane, a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, crashed around 12:45 p.m. just after taking off from the Tullahoma Regional Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the crash.
The plane went down on Old Shelbyville Road, according to the FAA.
Russell said it was a skydiving plane.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement that it is investigating the crash.
