Small Plane Lands on Street Near Airfield

No one was injured when the single-engine Cessna set down around 5 p.m. at 30th Street West and Avenue F, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Engel.

“The highways aren’t traveled and there isn’t too much traffic there,” Engel said. “It’s out in the desert where there isn’t anything else around.
