Two people were killed and 19 injured when a small plane crashed through the rooftop of a commercial building in Southern California on Thursday.
The flight-tracking website FlightAware shows a four-seat, single-engine aircraft crashed less than two minutes after takeoff.
Kristy Wells, a Fullerton police spokesperson, says police got a report at 2:09 p.m. about the crash in the Orange County city of Fullerton.
Firefighters and police reportedly arrived on scene and battled a blaze that broke out, and evacuated surrounding businesses.
The fire damaged the warehouse, which appeared to contain sewing machines and textile stock.
Police say two people died, eleven people were taken to the hospital, while eight were treated and released at the scene.
The people who died were believed to have been on the plane, while those injured were inside the building.
