Three people survived a small plane crash into a suburban Long Island street Sunday evening, according to Federal Aviation Administration officials and cops.

The Cessna 172 crashed on Clarendon Drive in Valley Stream — approximately two miles northeast of JFK airport — around 10:20 p.m., according to the FAA.

Initial reports indicate that three people were on board the small, single-engine, fixed-wing 4-seater aircraft at the time of the crash — but there were no reports of any injuries, according to law enforcement and aviation officials.

It’s unclear if the plane struck a residence, but officials say there appears to be no explosion, fire or structural damage.

“At this point there is a small aircraft down [on] Clarendon drive. It struck a telephone pole,” according to police.

“We have no aided at this time.”

The FAA is investigating the cause of the crash.
