The shocking moment when a small plane crashed in a Pembroke Pines neighborhood on Sunday was caught on camera. Video from a resident's surveillance camera shows the plane crashing into a tree in front of a home on SW 14 Street near SW 68 Boulevard, about a mile west of North Perry Airport, just after 8 p.m. The four people onboard were rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital and are expected to be okay. Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue told CBS Miami's news partner the Miami Herald that a 45-year-old, 50-year-old and14-year-old have minor injuries and a 16-year-old had potentially life threatening injuries. Neighbors rush to the rescue Neighbors, including an off-duty first responder, jumped into action immediately. They ran to the plane to break the glass and pull the family of four out of the plane while using a fire extinguisher and hose to put out a fire. "He came with an axe, breaking the windows. So, we took the father out first, the two daughters peeked their heads out of the seat, and we had to break the bottom half of the cockpit because the mom was on the bottom, trapped in. The neighbor from across the street had a fire extinguisher trying to put the fire out. My neighbor where the plane actually crashed, he had a water hose and was hosing the plane down," neighbor Eddy Crispin said. Tower lost contact with pilot According to FlightAware, the flight originated in the Dominican Republic. It then went to the Turks and Caicos before coming to South Florida. According to radio traffic, the last time the tower had contact with the plane's pilot was when it was 8 miles out from the airport. When the pilot didn't respond to calls, another plane reported to the tower that it had crashed. Pembroke Pines mayor wants action Pembroke Pines Mayor Angelo Castillo said something needs to be done. "These residents are constantly fearing that in the middle of the night some plane is going to knock into their homes or create a problem on the main road," he said. Broward's aviation department said for the past 25 years it has earned a perfect score in the "annual comprehensive Safety Inspection" conducted by the state.
