Authorities said that a small plane crashed into a seaside house in heavy fog, killing two people aboard and two children in the vacation home it struck.

A third child was unaccounted for after the crash, which apparently occurred soon after the plane took off in northwest Oregon, on the US West Coast on Monday.

The plane was a single – engine plane. First it’s clipped a tree and then plowed into the house, followed by explosions.

The pilot and his only passenger were also killed. Their identities were not immediately released.

Official said that the four-seat Cessna was owned by Aviation Aventures in Seaside. The company had rented it to the pilot.

When the plane crashed, six people were in the four-bedroom rental home at Gearhart for a family reunion and vacation, City Admninistrator Dennis McNally said. A mother and two children were flown to Portland for treatment at a burn center, said Michael Griffiths, executive director of the emergency transport service Life Flight.
