The plane was diverting to Flagler County Airport, near the coast about 30 miles north of Daytona Beach, when it crashed a mile east of the airport and into a house, Bergen said. The FAA said three people were on board, but the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said there were five passengers. Initial reports indicate the pilot reported the plane was severely shaking, the sheriff's office said. There was no immediate information on injuries.
