Small Plane Crashes into California Building, Leaving Two Dead and 18 Injured

A tragic incident unfolded in Southern California when a small plane crashed into a commercial building, resulting in two fatalities and multiple injuries.


A small plane crash in Fullerton, California, has led to the deaths of two individuals and injured 18 others. Emergency responders are investigating the crash site, which also prompted evacuations in the area.



A small plane crashed into a commercial building in Fullerton, California, at approximately 2:15 PM PST on Thursday, leading to the deaths of two individuals and injuries to at least 18 others. According to the Fullerton Police Department, ten people were transported to local hospitals, while another eight were treated and released at the scene.

The aircraft involved was a single-engine Van's RV-10 model. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has reported that the plane was returning to the Fullerton Municipal Airport shortly after takeoff but has yet to provide further details on the cause of the crash. The identities of the deceased individuals remain unknown, with speculation surrounding whether they were occupants of the plane or workers in the building that was struck.

Congressman Lou Correa, representing Southern California’s Orange County, noted on social media that the commercial building involved is a furniture manufacturing business, indicating that many of the victims were factory workers.

Witnesses reported a chaotic scene, with one identified as Mark Anderson recounting a loud explosion and observing a large fire at the site. Aerial photographs captured parts of the plane lodged within the building, and fire crews acted promptly to extinguish the flames sparked by the incident.

This accident marks the second such incident near Fullerton in recent months; another plane crashed into a tree roughly a block away just a few weeks prior, although that incident did not result in significant injuries. The investigation into the causes and circumstances surrounding this latest crash is ongoing, while local authorities have cordoned off the area and urged the public to avoid the crash site as emergency services continue their work.
