Fort Myers, FL - A small plane crashed into a building at Page Field Airport in Fort Myers on Wednesday causing significant damage but no injuries.
The accident occurred during the plane's landing approach, resulting in substantial damage to the building.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the pilot, any passengers, or individuals on the ground.
Emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and ensure safety protocols were followed.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been notified and is conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the crash.

The FAA's investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
