The FAA is investigating a small plane crash in Brevard County.

The twin-engine Beechcraft 76 crash-landed in the parking lot of the Renningers Flea Market just after 7 p.m. last night.

Officials say the pilot reported engine issues just before bringing the plane down and it took out a power line, which stretched across the entrance ramp to southbound I-95.

One of the two people on board suffered minor injuries while the other was not injured at all and Melbourne Police say the pilot and co-pilot were out of the aircraft and walking around when first responders arrived.

Police believe they were attempting to return to Orlando-Melbourne International Airport after the plane suffered a mechanical issue.

The NTSB is looking into the crash, along with the Federal Aviation Administration.
