Columbia Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins said it appeared the plane hit some trees, skidded across the roof causing damage, and then went into the yard. Jenkins did not know what type of plane it was, but said it was small and that it was pretty mangled up.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has been notified and will be investigating. They confirm the plane that crashed was a Beech F33A aircraft. The NTSB may have a preliminary report of the incident in two weeks. A full investigation could take around a year or two.
