PHOENIX — A homemade plane crashed in a Phoenix intersection Monday, killing one person and injuring another, authorities said.
The plane went down near the city’s small Deer Valley Airport, and both victims were on board, Phoenix Aviation Department spokeswoman Heather Lissner said. There were no reports of anyone on the ground being hurt, and the condition of the injured person who was on the plane was not clear.
Images showed wreckage of the plane in the middle of traffic lanes with firefighters at the scene.
Operations at Deer Valley Airport have not been affected, Lissner said. The airport does not serve commercial airlines and has two runways, corporate-based aircraft and two flight training schools.
