Sigh! What a family tragedy:
KERNVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A single-engine plane crashed near a remote Kern County airport and exploded into flames, killing a family of six, authorities said.
The family had flown from Santa Monica Airport to Kern Valley Airport, where the plane crashed
Friday upon approach, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Lancair Columbia
was consumed in a grassfire sparked by the crash, reported shortly after 5:40 p.m., but the one-acre blaze was quickly contained, Kern County Fire Department Capt. Tommy Brown said.
All six people aboard, including at least one infant, were killed, Gregor said. The family had been headed to Kern County for a camping trip, he said. Their names were not immediately released.
