Small plane crashes in Temple City backyard, narrowly missing home

TEMPLE CITY, Calif. (KABC) -- A small plane on Monday morning crashed into a backyard in Temple City, narrowly missing a home.

The crash was reported around 8 a.m. on Arden Drive, a residential street not far from San Gabriel Valley Airport.

According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the two people on board the aircraft - the pilot and passenger - emerged without any injuries.

"The way this plane crashed... it hit some trees, spun around and then was caught by a bunch of trees... so the good news is no one was injured. Minimal property damage," said Capt. Sheila Kelliher Berkoh.

It doesn't appear that anybody was inside the home at the time.

Additional details about the crash were not available, but it appears the Cessna 152 is based out of the Mission Flight Academy in Redlands.

Monday's crash came a few days after another small plane crashed through the roof of a building in Fullerton, killing two people and injuring 19 others.
