In a devastating incident, two people have died and at least 18 others have been injured after a small plane crashed into a commercial building in Fullerton, California. The Van’s RV-10 single-engine aircraft crashed into the roof of a furniture manufacturing business at 2:15 PM PST on Thursday, sparking a fire and a chaotic scene. The victims included both factory workers and individuals on board the plane, although authorities have yet to clarify how many were in each category.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion followed by a fireball, and security footage captured the explosion. Firefighters worked swiftly to extinguish the flames. Ten people were rushed to hospitals with injuries, while eight others were treated and released at the scene. Nearby buildings were evacuated, and the public has been urged to stay away from the crash site as authorities investigate.
The plane had recently taken off from the Fullerton Municipal Airport and was reportedly attempting to return when it crashed. The crash site is located about 25 miles south of Los Angeles, near Disneyland. This incident marks the second plane crash in the area in recent months. Investigations are ongoing, and officials are working to determine the cause of the crash.
