The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified the plane as a twin-engine Cessna 421C. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said the crash knocked down a power pole, which started a fire in a nearby brush area.

The plane broke into pieces when it crashed into a residential area.

Before crashing, the plane did not send out any distress signal or make any emergency calls.

The FAA and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are currently investigating the incident.
