Three people and a dog were killed after two small planes collided in Northern California while trying to land at a rural airport, authorities have said.
The names of those killed after their planes crashed on Thursday at the Watsonville Municipal Airport will be released once their families have been notified, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Friday.
There were two people and a dog aboard a twin-engine Cessna 340 and only the pilot aboard a single-engine Cessna 152 during the crash, National Transportation Safety Board air safety investigator Fabian Salazar said.
