A twin-engine Cessna 414A aircraft crashed in Yorba Linda region in Orange County around 1:45 p.m. The plane took off from the Fullerton Municipal Airport which is about a dozen miles west of the crash site, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
There were at least 5 deaths and 2 people were hospitalized post the crash.
“It was a boom, pop. I run outside thinking somebody hit my daughter car,” told an eye witness Laurie Stockstill. “I look up. I see this huge piece. I don’t know what it was. You can just watch it in slow motion. Then I see a big cloud of smoke go up. Oh my God, it was just awful. By the time I got from here to my backyard, the house was just burning.”
