A small plane crashed Friday afternoon in Shakopee, injuring two people, authorities say.

The Shakopee Police Department said the plane crashed at Scenic Heights Park around 12:30 p.m. Two people were taken to the hospital. It’s unclear how severe their injuries were.

Dashcam footage from a Pro Courier Inc. delivery truck captured the moments leading up to the crash.

The plane is seen descending while it rocks from side to side. The right wing appears to dip straight toward the ground just seconds before impact, but the aircraft disappears behind a stack of equipment in the foreground.

“This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen,” said Chad Piotraschke, who was walking his dog in the neighborhood at the time of the crash. “Like I said, I didn’t think it was real. To be honest, and I looked up and realized and then I started — you knew you could tell right away he was in trouble because of the plane, doing this and the way he was, you know, the way he was maneuvering.”

The plane went down in a field near Shakopee East Middle School and steps from people’s homes.

Administrators say the school was put on hold until they got word from first responders that it was safe to continue classes. “We send caring thoughts to those impacted in the landing,” a school spokesperson said.

Neighbors told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS they’re grateful the plane landed where it did.

“It’s the best possible place they could have landed,” neighbor Madison Valiant said. “Everything else is a school, apartment, park or homes.”

Records from the Federal Aviation Administration indicate the plane is a twin-engine Piper PA-44 Seminole registered to Thunderbird Aircraft Co. in Bloomington.

“It was kind of scary because easily could have come up on the road here, or anything closer there could have been kids in the park,” Ivy Beebe, neighbor, said.

Our camera at the scene captured people in Thunderbird polos picking up papers and headsets that said “Thunderbird.” The company runs a flight school out of Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to Thunderbird for comment and is awaiting a response.

Officials are advising people to avoid the area of Scenic Heights Park as emergency responders manage the scene.
