BREAKING: Plane Crashes In Tennessee With 20 Passengers Onboard

In recent years, more and more planes have been crashing in the United States.

Unfortunately, that trend has continued after a plane crashed in Tennessee.

According to Tennessee authorities, a plane that took off from the Tullahoma Regional Airport crashed with 20 passengers on board.

CNN reported more details on the crash:

A plane with several people on board has crashed in Coffee County, Tennessee, about 60 miles south of Nashville, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

“Initial reports suggest 16–20 people were on board. Some have been airlifted to nearby hospitals,” the highway patrol said in an X post Sunday afternoon. “This is an active scene.”

Multiple people have been flown to local hospitals while others are being evaluated at the scene, the highway patrol added in a Facebook post.

No one died in the crash, but there are some minor injuries, according to Lyle Russell, a spokesperson for the City of Tullahoma where the crash occurred.

Highway patrol video shows damage to the plane’s tail which appears to have broken off along with other parts of the aircraft. Yellow caution tape is seen in the video blocking off the area where the plane came to rest while officials investigate the scene.
