Two people were killed Thursday morning when a small, single-engine plane crashed in Hesperia, south of Summit Valley Road and east of Maple Avenue, near Hesperia Airport. Authorities found the aircraft badly damaged; the cause of the crash was not immediately known. Summit Valley Road remained open as officials investigated and asked the public to stay clear of the scene.
Fire crews said they saw no smoke or fire while responding, and later located the plane nose-down.
The crash was about 2.5 miles southwest of Hesperia Airport, according to a San Bernardino County Fire Department spokeswoman.
Hesperia Police Department spokeswoman Lyndsi Garrett confirmed the two fatalities; the department said it would post updates as they became available.
ABC7 footage showed the aircraft had come down in a field of sparse brush.
