A small plane crashed into a home in northern Arizona Sunday morning.

The Esthen ExchangeVerde Valley Fire District responded after 9:45 a.m. local time to the crash in Cottonwood − approximately 50 miles south of Flagstaff − that left residents unharmed but required the pilot to be airlifted to a Phoenix area hospital, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

The pilot was the only person in the plane when it crashed.

The plane damaged a detached carport on the property, leaving the main house unscathed.
