Two people were dead after a single-engine plane crashed south of Hesperia Airport Friday afternoon.
The Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft had apparently burst into flames upon impact at 7070 Summit Valley Road and sparked a brush fire in the surrounding vegetation, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and authorities in San Bernardino County. However, the flames were extinguished within an hour after the crash, which occurred shortly after 5 p.m.
Both victims were found inside the plane and declared deceased at the scene, San Bernardino County fire officials said. All that was left of the craft were its charred wings and a smudge of debris on the roadway, aerial video showed.
Some of the wreckage struck a vehicle that was heading down Summit Valley Road at the time, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. Though the car was damaged, its occupants were not harmed.
Today's date of this plane crash is June 15, 2018, date written 6/15 or 15/6.
Summit Valley Road south of Los Flores Street would be closed through the night as a result, officials said. Commuters and those heading to the airport were advised to use alternate routes.
