11 injured in small plane crash in Southern California

FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) — Eleven people were injured when a small plane crashed through the rooftop of a commercial building in Southern California on Thursday, police said.

It was not immediately known what type of plane it was or whether those injured were in the aircraft or on the ground, Wells said.

Video footage from KABC shows white smoke coming from the top of a large building.


The plane crashed near the Fullerton Municipal Airport, a general aviation airport in Orange County that is about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Disneyland. It has one runway and one heliport.

Hoping this was a very unfortunate and tragic accident and not anything intentional.
