A tragic plane crash in California has left two people dead and 18 others injured after a small plane collided with a commercial building. The crash occurred Thursday afternoon near Fullerton Municipal Airport, located 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Emergency responders reported that 10 people were hospitalized, while eight others received treatment at the scene. The identities of the deceased have not yet been confirmed, and it is unclear whether they were passengers on the plane or workers at the building.
Television footage showed significant damage to the building, with a large hole in the roof and smoke billowing out. Witnesses described hearing a loud boom followed by a rush to escape the building.
The plane involved in the crash was identified as a single-engine Van’s RV-10, a small four-seat aircraft, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated an investigation into the incident.
