Plane crashed in parking lot in California
A single-engine plane has crashed in a parking lot in the US state of California. The plane took cars and mobile homes with it - a truck is said to have been cut in half. Four people were injured in the dicey incident.
A car race was taking place near the scene of the accident - the small plane is said to have crashed not far from the grandstands, according to broadcaster ABC7. No one was injured on the ground, but the Piper PA-32 took about five cars and three mobile homes with it.
Truck was "cut in half" according to witnesses
"It was a shock for me to see a plane cut an entire truck in half from the roof to the door," said witness Tristan Szalonek, describing the dramatic scenes.
Fire department was already nearby
Police said the pilot and three passengers had suffered "minor to moderate injuries that are not life-threatening" and had been taken to a nearby hospital. Firefighters, who were in the vicinity because of the car race, were able to quickly reach the scene of the accident.
The pilot had attempted to land at a nearby airport before the crash. It is not known where the plane came from and the accident is being investigated.
