Cape Air confirmed that a flight from Boston carrying six passengers and one pilot crashed while attempting to land at Provincetown Municipal Airport.

Provincetown Town Manager Alex Morse said that there were no fatalities.

There was no immediate word on the extent of the injuries to those involved in the crash.

The plane came down nose first into the woods outside of the fenced-in area of the airport grounds, so right alongside the bike path.

The flight 2072 was operated by a Cessna 402.

Morse noted that inclement weather likely played a role in the crash. It had been pouring rain for most of the day.

Truro Fire Chief Timothy Collins said the plane caught fire after crashing and that his department provided a water tanker to help extinguish the blaze.

Emergency crews are working at the scene of the crash.
