Corona, Ca - Witnesses reported two small planes collided, then crashed into one or more auto dealerships in Corona.
The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed four airplane passengers were killed in the crash.
Two of the fatalities in collision were occupants in the airplanes and two were killed on the ground, according to the FAA.
There are unconfirmed reports of injuries at the scene.
UPDATE:
- Investigators are preparing to cut through the mangled wreckage of a private plane that collided in mid-air with another small aircraft yesterday, killing at least five.
A National Transportation Safety Board official says the two Cessnas collided at 3:35 p.m. Sunday about a mile from the small Corona Municipal Airport and just north of the Riverside Freeway.
Two people were confirmed dead aboard one plane, a Cessna 172, but authorities are not sure if there are more victims inside.
Two more people were killed when they were ejected from the other plane, a smaller Cessna 150, and a fifth victim was inside a Chevy dealership that was hit by wreckage.
Debris from the collision was contained mostly within a 300-yard radius, although some was found as far as 1,000 yards away.
