A plane crash incident took place yesterday in the city of Fullerton, California, causing one death and injury to at least 15 individuals. The plane crashed into the roof of a warehouse situated on the 2300 block of West Raymer Avenue, next to the Fullerton Municipal Airport. The crash, which occurred around 2:10 p.m., initially led to a report of a structure fire, suggesting that the incident sparked a fire on the site.
The sufficing visual evidence showed the plane causing a significant damage to a building by causing a large hole in its roof. Despite this, no direct visual evidence of the planes wreckage was found. Firefighters were subsequently deployed to contain the fire within the warehouse and adjacent buildings were evacuated as a preventive measure.
First responders at the situation tended to an unforeseen number of casualties, readying ambulances for quick transportation to the local hospitals. The Fullerton Police Department later reported that nine people were transported to local hospitals, six were treated at the scene and released, and one individual, presumably the pilot, was deceased.
The incident led to disruptions in local road traffic, as authorities urged drivers to avoid the area. Earlier in November, a similar incident occurred in close proximity when two people narrowly avoided serious injury when their plane crashed near the same airport.
