Four people died in a small plane crash shortly after noon Wednesday at the Corona Municipal Airport, authorities said.
The Corona Fire Department and Corona police responded to the scene, where they found the plane on fire in nearby brush, the agencies said in a tweet. Firefighters were working to extinguish the blaze. The crash occurred on the east side of the airport, which is now closed to flights. Photos posted on social media show several planes parked nearby.
A man who witnessed the crash described to OnScene TV what appeared to be a difficulty during takeoff. The plane initially lifted off the ground, the man said, but didn’t gain altitude. The plane landed back on the runway before the pilot attempted another takeoff.“He went ahead and gunned the motor, gained some more airspeed and took off again. But the wing tips were going from one side to the other and the nose was pitched up,” he said. “He flew into right where he landed.
