California family miraculously survived after small plane crashed into their Auburn home. They were living on Miracle Drive, so it was a miracle that they managed to survive.
However, the pilot of the single engine aircraft was not named. He was, according to police, the only person on the plane.
Officials claim that the pilot’s condition remains unknown. He is receiving treatment for the injuries sustained during Wednesday’s crash at 3:15pm local.
Police say that the craft crashed into nearby power lines, and then plummeted onto the roof of the house.
According to Placer County police, the roof miraculously held and everyone who was involved survived.
It is also coincidental that Miracle Drive, 35 miles from Sacramento, houses the house.

Video footage and photos taken from the spot of the smash show the mound of wreckage atop the home’s roof with pieces of the debris hanging over its side.
‘They are so fortunate in this case that the plane did not crash through the home and injure them, so we’re saying that they’re very lucky,’ Placer County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Angela Musallam said of the incident Wednesday afternoon.
We don’t really know about the health of the pilot.
According to the sheriff’s office, they first became aware of the incident when their office was contacted by an anonymous witness regarding what it called a “suspicious circumstance.”
“At 3:00pm, PCSO received an alarm call regarding suspicious circumstances in the 3000 block Miracle Drive, Auburn. The office posted Wednesday’s tweet following the accident: “Deputies arrived to find a plane crashed on top of an apartment,” the official tweeted.
The roof of the house, however, was not damaged by the smash.
Deputies arrived at the site and discovered the aircraft crashed. They eventually realized that the pilot had accidentally hit some power lines or trees nearby. This led to the landing on the roof of the home, which miraculously did not fall.
The office stated that CAL Fire Nevada-Yuba–Placer Unit agents had’rendered emergency medical aid to one pilot, before they were transferred to a hospital nearby.
It is just minutes from Auburn’s Municipal Airport. However, police believe that it is not yet clear where the pilot will be landing.
Although the home is located just a short distance from Auburn’s Municipal Airport’s, police claim that the destination of this pilot is not yet known. The investigation is being overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
The address of the owner of the house and the number of people who were present at the scene of the accident was not disclosed by the office.
Musallam, who was speaking after the crash, stated that they did not know which direction this plane was going or where it was coming from.
The address of the owner of the house and the total number of persons present in the home at the time the crash occurred were not disclosed by the office.
Video footage and photos taken from the spot of the smash show the wreckage piled high on the roof. Parts of the debris hang over the sides of the domicile.
Wednesday saw deputies remain on the spot until Federal Aviation Administration agents and National Transportation Safety Board personnel arrived to examine the wreckage.
