The pilot, who was killed, has been identified as Duane Youd. The house he crashed into was his own, that he reportedly bought about a year ago with his wife. Youd was arrested hours before the crash on accusations of domestic violence. According to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau, he posted bail around 9:42 p.m. Sunday. According to the Payson Police department, Youd requested he be allowed to return home in order to pick up a few items. An officer was on hand while Youd retrieved some belongings and his vehicle back at the house, before leaving again.

They managed to get out of the house without suffering any significant injuries. Sgt. Noemi Sandoval explained to reporters that the crash could have been much worse. It appears the small plane clipped a shed on the way down, which caused it to hit the house at a lower angle than the pilot may have originally intended. The Cessna Citation 525 jet ended up slamming the front of the home, rather than the top. A more direct hit could have caused even more destruction and perhaps have caused injury to Sandy Youd and her son. A neighbor, Slade Buhler, told local news outlet the Gephardt Daily that he saw the plane fly over the neighborhood before circling back. He said the jet did not have its lights on as it flew overhead. He said the lights suddenly did come on right before the crash.

If he hadn’t hit the car, I wonder how much more damage this would have done to the house.” • Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

PAYSON, Utah — A Utah man flew a small plane into his own house early Monday just hours after he had been arrested for assaulting his wife in a nearby canyon where the couple went to talk over their problems, authorities said. The pilot, Duane Youd, died. His wife and a child who were in the home got out and survived despite the front part the two-story house being engulfed in flames, Payson police Sgt. Noemi Sandoval said. The crash occurred about 2:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. ET) Monday in Payson, a city of about 20,000 residents 60 miles south of Salt Lake City. Investigators believe the plane belonged to Youd's employer and that he intentionally flew into his own house, Sandoval said. He was an experienced pilot, she said. It wasn't immediately clear who employed Youd. BREAKING: Police in Payson say the plane crash this morning was no accident. They say the pilot, Duane Youd appears to have intentionally crashed into his own home. He had been arrested a few hours earlier on domestic violence. He was killed —no one else was injured. @KSL5TV pic.twitter.com/Y3zEkkqxDi — Sam Penrod (@KSLsampenrod) August 13, 2018 It's unknown if the child in the house is related to Youd, Sandoval said. Youd had been arrested about 7:30 p.m. Sunday after witnesses called police to report that Youd was assaulting his wife, Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Cannon said. The couple had been drinking and went to American Fork Canyon to talk about problems they were having. Youd was booked into jail on suspicion of domestic violence and then bailed out, Cannon said. Youd requested an officer escort to go to his home so he could get his truck and some belongings around midnight. That occurred without incident, Sandoval said. Within hours, Youd was taking off in the plane from the Spanish Fork-Springville Airport about 15 miles north of his home. He flew directly to his neighborhood and crashed into his house, Sandoval said. Photos of the wreckage showed the white plane charred and in pieces in the front yard nearby an overturned and crushed car. Most of the upscale house was still intact, but heavily burned in the front. Police had responded one previous time to the house on a domestic violence incident, Sandoval said. Online court records show that Youd agreed on July 23 to attend marriage and family counselling sessions for six months as part of a plea agreement following an April 8 domestic violence incident in which he was charged with disorderly conduct.
