A small plane crashed next to an interstate highway in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday night, killing all five people on board, police said.

The single-engine plane crashed close to a Costco store on the eastbound lanes of the I-40, near the Nashville suburb of Charlotte Park, just before 8 p.m. The Federal Aviation Administration was on the scene Monday night and investigations from the National Transportation Safety Board were due to arrive Tuesday, police said.

None of the victims have so far been named. No other vehicles or buildings were hit.

Cellphone footage shot by motorists and passengers traveling westbound that was posted to social media showed a fiery wreckage.

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority said in a statement it was "alerted of a single engine aircraft crash three miles south of John C. Tune Airport, near I-40," at 7.49 p.m.
