Eleven people were injured when a small plane crashed through the rooftop of a commercial building in Fullerton, Southern California, on Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The crash occurred at 2:09 pm, according to Kristy Wells, a spokesperson for the Fullerton Police Department. Emergency crews, including police and fire personnel, quickly responded to the scene, extinguishing the blaze and evacuating nearby businesses.
The type of aircraft involved and whether the injured individuals were aboard the plane or on the ground remained unclear, Wells noted.
Footage aired by KABC showed white smoke rising from the roof of the damaged building. The crash site is located near the Fullerton Municipal Airport, which has a single runway and heliport. The area is surrounded by a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial warehouses, and a Metrolink regional train line.
Fullerton, a city of approximately 140,000 residents, lies 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles and about 6 miles from Disneyland. Authorities are investigating the incident.
