The plane crash-landed in an alley in Pompano, Fla., just before 6:25 a.m., the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. The pilot, who was the only person aboard the 2013 Beachcraft plane, was out of the plane and walking around when rescuers arrived, said Pompano Beach spokeswoman Sandra King. He was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.
