A small plane crashed into a Clearwater, Florida home Sunday morning, according to reports by both CNN and the Associated Press. There were no fatalities and the only minor injuries reported belong to two passengers and a pilot aboard the single engine Piper Mirage.

The news spread on Twitter about the plane crash and the fact that all involved had survived. The plane was later reported to have been carrying supplies for Haiti.
