Small plane takes a plunge, crashes into a tree; 2 injured

 

Two people were injured when a small plane hit a tree Monday during an emergency landing along an Orange County roadway, authorities said.

 

Prior to the crash landing, a pilot mentioned to air traffic controllers experiencing engine turbulence but didn’t ask for assistance, according to audio of the incident. About a minute later, however, he suddenly announced an emergency landing.

 

The plane, a Mooney M20 with two passengers, climbed to about 2,100 feet and 110 miles per hour before rapidly losing altitude about 1:45 p.m., according to its flight track log. It crashed just east of Fullerton Airport along Artesia Avenue, according to the Fullerton Fire Department. The passengers had moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital.
