The small plane crash-landed in a remote area in western St. Lucie County with the pilot alert and out of the aircraft, the St. Lucie County Fire District said.
Police say a 79-year-old woman was backing out of her driveway at about 10 a.m. when she continued driving into her neighbor's yard, crashing into the Port St. Lucie house.
St. Lucie County Fire District Chief Nate Spera said it's going to be roughly another week before a mulch fire, which started on Aug. 25, is extinguished.
A mulch fire that's been burning in western St. Lucie County for more than a week is bringing heavy smoke to the area on Friday and causing breathing problems for some residents.
The Glades mulch fire in St. Lucie County is 100% contained, however, heavy smoke in the area will continue over the next several days or weeks, according to the Florida Forest Service.
