LAKE WORTH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a small plane has crashed into a mobile home park in Florida, and at least two of the mobile homes reportedly caught fire.

    

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen confirmed Tuesday evening's crash in an email to The Associated Press but said she had no further details.

    

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Capt. Albert Borroto told local news media that the aircraft hit several homes at the Mar-Mak Colony Club in Lake Worth before 6 p.m. Tuesday, setting at least two of them on fire.

    

Borroto was quoted by the news media as saying there were "an unknown number of victims," but he didn't release details about possible injuries or deaths.
