Description
The plane's pilot called "mayday, mayday, mayday," before coming down, Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ehlers said. "They were in contact with Tampa approach and having issues."
Multiple crews, including police, fire and medical, were dispatched just after 7 p.m. to the Bayside Waters mobile home community, located off U.S. Highway 19 and just south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
Ehlers said it's believed the pilot is dead. At the mobile home park, one person received some sort of injury after the crash and refused treatment. Efforts are ongoing to determine if anyone was in the home that the chief called "demolished" by the plane's impact.
A total of four homes were damaged, Ehlers said.
