A small plane has crashed into a backyard of a residential neighborhood in southern California, killing two people onboard and damaging homes, local authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Ventura County Fire Department said firefighters received reports Saturday afternoon of a single-engine aircraft that had crashed into two houses in Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police and the medical examiner’s office “verified there were two passengers in the aircraft, both of whom were fatally injured in the accident,” the county fire department wrote on X.<\/p>\n
The two homes were occupied at the time of the crash but no injuries to residents were reported, the fire department said.<\/p>\n
Photo and video images posted by the department showed firefighters on top of a house with holes in the roof, a fence and brick wall between residences knocked down, and the tops of trees sheared off.<\/p>\n
The Simi Valley Police Department said officers had located the plane “in the backyard of a residence.”<\/p>\n
Police told CBS News that the pilot, a passenger and a dog were aboard when the plane crashed at around 2:00 pm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Federal Aviation Administration said, according to CBS, that the plane was a Van’s RV-10, which had taken off from William J. Fox Airfield in Los Angeles County and was heading to Camarillo Airport in neighboring Ventura County.<\/p>\n
In January, a Van’s RV-10, a small plane with four seats, crashed into a commercial building near Fullerton Municipal Airport southeast of Los Angeles, killing at least two people and injuring 18 others.<\/p>\n
