A small plane burst into flames killing all on board leading to closure of the highway in United States. Initial investigation claimed plane was approved for an emergency landing at John C. Tune Airport after reporting engine and power failure around 7:40 pm, Monday.
Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson Don Aaron said but the pilot soon told air traffic control that they wouldn’t make it to the tarmac.
The U.S media reported that it was still unclear how many people were inside the plane, which exploded into flames upon impact, Nashville Fire Department spokesperson Kendra Loney said.
Nashville is located in Tennessee State in the United States.
The spokesperson said: “That impact was catastrophic and did not leave any survivors.”

The Nashville officials are still working to identify the deceased and determine where the plane originated from and the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the cause of the crash.
