The Volusia County Sheriff's Office reports that several people at the Northgate Shopping Center in Deland called 911 around 7:20 p.m. Monday about the crash. They described seeing the plane sputter, hit the building and burst into flames not far from a municipal airport.
The sheriff's office reports a pilot and a passenger aboard were
airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
