Los Angeles, Apr 30: One person was killed after a small plane crashed Saturday night in a mountainous area here in Los Angeles, authorities said.
The incident was reported about 8:09 p.m. local time (0309 GMT on Sunday), according to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
Air Traffic Control asked the LAFD to check a large swath of mountainous territory in the area after they reportedly lost radar contact with the small single-engine airplane believed to be traveling between two Los Angeles-area airports — Santa Monica Airport and Van Nuys Airport.
The fire department said hours later in an update that the plane was found upon a steep hillside that includes a large water tank.
“LAFD responders have discovered one person deceased at the scene. Though no other persons were believed aboard, a search of the immediate area will be conducted to confirm no other victims,” the department added.
The cause of the crash remains unclear so far.
