One killed as small plane crashes in Los Angeles
One person was killed after a small plane crashed in a mountainous area here in Los Angeles, authorities said.
The incident was reported at about 8:09 pm local time (0309 GMT on Sunday), according to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), Xinhua news agency reported.
Air Traffic Control asked the LAFD to check a large swath of mountainous territory in the area after they reportedly lost radar contact with the small single-engine airplane believed to be travelling between two Los Angeles-area airports — Santa Monica Airport and Van Nuys Airport.
