The two people on board were found dead inside the Piper PA-28 aircraft, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Fire officials evacuated the affected home and a nearby home, reporting no injuries on the ground.

Crews remain at the scene.

It is unclear how many people were onboard the aircraft, or what led to the crash.

American Winds College of Aeronautics, a local flight school, confirmed all of its airplanes are safe in their hangars and accounted for.

"American Winds is deeply saddened to hear of a plane crash which has just occurred near the Akron Fulton Airport this afternoon," the school wrote in a Facebook post. "We pray for the pilot, anyone on board and their families."

The NTSB and Topgolf Akron, which is located across the street from the crash site, did not immediately respond to additional inquiries from Fox News Digital.
