The plane was stuck about 30 meters above the ground and other power lines still had power, complicating rescue efforts.

The accident occurred in Gaithersburg, a city of 69,000 people, about 39km northwest of Washington, D.C.

The cause of the accident was not immediately clear. The US Federal Aviation Administration and the US National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the accident.
