Six people were killed in an early Saturday morning plane crash in southern California’s Riverside County, making it the second deadly plane disaster the area has seen in the past week.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna C550 business jet departed from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. At around 4:15 a.m, the jet crashed just north of the French Valley Airport in Murrieta, California. It is not immediately clear who was in the plane at the time of the crash, which took place near Briggs and Auld roads and is now under investigation by the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board.
“Deputies located an aircraft fully engulfed in flames in a field,” the Riverside Police Department said in a statement. “Six occupants from the plane were located and pronounced deceased at the scene.”
