There were no injures after a small plane crashed in Mukilteo on Tuesday afternoon.

The crash happened at Harbour Point Boulevard Southwest and Mukilteo Speedway.

The Federal Aviation Administration told KIRO 7 the aircraft was a single-engine Piper PA32 that crashed under unknown circumstances immediately after taking off from Runway 16R at nearby Paine Field.

One photo tweeted shortly after 3:30 p.m. shows smoke rising at the south end of Paine Field.

State Route 525 was blocked for about 90 minutes.

Snohomish County PUD said about 9,000 customers lost power in the area.

A witness wrote on her Instagram account, “…there was a minimum of five people in cars and the plane if he would’ve went 20 feet the other way he would’ve hit a gas station it would’ve been a disaster…”

The FAA and NTSB will investigate.

Paine Field is located in unincorporated Snohomish County, between Mukilteo and Everett, and about 30 miles north of downtown Seattle. The airport is home to more than 650 aircraft, including single-engine and corporate jets, and also is home to the Boeing manufacturing plant for the 747, 767, 777 and 787 aircrafts.
