(WSB Radio) -- One person has been killed, three others injured when a small plane crashed Monday in a Gwinnett County neighborhood.  Investigators say the three survivors walked away from the crash. 

The crash happened just before 5pm.  The pilot remained inside and apparently died as the plane caught fire.  The crash site is in woods behind a neighborhood near Simmons and Spring Circle in Lawrenceville. 

Investigators believe the plane is a Beechcraft Queen type aircraft.

The aircraft was completely engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.  The three passengers who walked away from the crash site have been taken to the hospital for evaluation.

The plane apparently crashed on takeoff from Gwinnett County's Briscoe Field.
