Ben Stillman, who lives close to the crash site, said the locals first assumed it was a car accident but it was not it.
“We heard a big crash, kinda like a car crash, and we assumed it was a car crash,” he said as quoted by a foreign news agency. “Our house is right over there and we peeped over the fence and we just see this plane sitting in the driveway.”
Nick Mladenovic and Joshua Geller, who also reside in the area, said it sounded like a dump truck had crashed into something.
The debris was removed and the lanes of University Boulevard reopened for traffic.
