Bills star Dion Dawkins missed Buffalo practice on Thursday … after a small plane crashed in his yard.

Authorities in Aurora, N.Y. say the single-engine aircraft went down at around 11:22 AM — after it had apparently experienced mechanical issues.

Law enforcement stated the plane was engulfed in flames after it landed on the ground just feet away from Dawkins’ residence — and one person tragically died.

Neither Dawkins nor anyone else in the area of the wreck was injured, authorities added.

Officials stated the plane was on its way to New York from Michigan. Further details surrounding the crash were not made immediately available. The National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement Thursday afternoon it’s launched an investigation into the matter.

Dawkins was excused from Buffalo practice to handle the situation.
