A small, single-prop plane crashes into a house in a built-up area, leaving three people dead.<\/h1>\n

The pilot of the 1972 Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six, a single-prop plane that can seat up to six, asked air traffic control for permission to land minutes after taking off.<\/p>\n

But the plane came down in a built-up district of Jackson, Mississippi, before it could make it to the runway.<\/p>\n

One woman inside the house escaped injury by jumping out of a window, according to the Clarion-Ledger newspaper.<\/p>\n

An inquiry has been launched to find out what caused the crash.<\/p>\n

Family members of John Tilton of Ridgeland confirm he was killed in the Jackson plane crash. Tilton was the pilot of the plane.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just don\u2019t have anything to say right now,\u201d a male family member answering the phone at Tilton\u2019s home said.<\/p>\n

The fate of all three people aboard a small plane that crashed into a west Jackson home shortly after 5 p.m. remains unknown this evening.<\/p>\n

The Piper PA-32 Cherokee 6 single-engine aircraft struck the home of Loretta and Roosevelt Jamison on Marcus Butler Drive, just off West Capitol Street, shortly after 5 p.m. after experiencing engine trouble just minutes after leaving Hawkins Field a few blocks away.<\/p>\n

Loretta Jamison, who was in the home, escaped by jumping out a window, her relatives said. Roosevelt Jamison wasn\u2019t home.<\/p>\n

Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart was at the scene.<\/p>\n

“It was a blast of fire and smoke,\u201d said Bill Hankins, who lives a block from the crash site and witnessed the plane going down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounded just like a bomb went off, it descended so fast,\u201d Hankins said. \u201cIt came down so low, I knew he couldn’t make it (back to Hawkins Field) as he was so low over the trees.<\/p>\n

“I heard a sound like it ran out of gas, and it was right over my house. All of a sudden, it just started descending, about four houses away from me, and it got real low almost at the top of the trees, then it fell into a house,\u201d Hankins said.<\/p>\n

The plane is owned by Superior Pallet Co. president Roger Latham of Brandon; his wife Michele is vice president of the company. Neither was aboard the plane.<\/p>\n

Michele Latham and her daughter Emily arrived at the scene after receiving a call from Roger Latham. Her father was supposed to be on the plane, Emily Latham said, \u201cbut he went hunting, thank God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily Latham identified the pilot, but it was unknown if his relatives had been contacted. She didn\u2019t know the purpose of the flight; FAA investigators said earlier in the evening that it left Hawkins Field headed to Raymond.<\/p>\n
