A baby girl was among three people killed when a plane crashed into the back yard of a home in Utah, setting a house on fire.

The nine-month-old girl and a woman, both passengers, and the pilot of the Piper PA-32 all died as the plane came down in the town of West Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake City.

Six people were on board the aircraft. Another woman is in critical condition in hospital, a two-year-old boy is described as stable and another child was treated and discharged.

The crash caused a fire in one home and damaged several others.

A woman inside one of the homes is in a critical condition in hospital, police said.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, which happened on Saturday.

The plane had taken off from South Valley Regional Airport.
