Small plane crashes outside home in Temple City neighborhood
A small airplane crashed outside a home in Temple City early Monday, fire officials said.
Los Angeles County firefighters responded about 8 a.m. to reports that a single-engine plane crashed in a neighborhood in the 4900 block of Arden Drive in Temple City.
The plane crashed into some greenery outside a home, but did not hit any structures, said Luis Garcia, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The two occupants of the plane were killed and 18 people on the ground were injured in the crash, authorities said.
Firefighters are assessing two people who were inside the plane for injuries, Garcia said. Further information about their conditions was not immediately available.
TV news footage from the scene shows a plane wedged between a cluster of trees and a house. It is not clear what caused the plane to crash.
The crash in Temple City comes days after a small plane crashed into a commercial building in Fullerton, killing two people and injuring 18 others.
