Plane in Fatal Crash Was From Sacramento Area
A private plane that crashed in Granada Hills on Monday was bound for Van Nuys Airport from the Sacramento area when it went down in a residential neighborhood, instantly killing the two men and one woman on board, authorities said.
Coroner’s officials declined to name the victims until dental records can verify their identities, but a spokesman said Tuesday that the three apparently came from the Sacramento area. One of the men may have been related to the female victim.
According to Federal Aviation Administration officials in Oklahoma City, the downed 1967 Beechcraft Baron belonged to a man from Carmichael, Calif., a suburb five miles northeast of the state capital. The twin-engine, propeller-driven craft was registered just last month, indicating that it had only recently been purchased by its current owner.
