At least two people have died and a third feared dead after two planes collided midair over Watsonville, California, on Thursday afternoon.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported that a single-engine Cessna 152 and a twin-engine Cessna 340 crashed into each other while the pilots were attempting to make their final approaches at the Watsonville Municipal Airport at around 3pm.
One of the planes plummeted into an adjacent field while the other slammed into a hangar.
The single-engine plane had one person on board and the other had two people on board, city officials said, confirming multiple fatalities. It has not yet been confirmed if all three died in the crash.
There were no injuries reported to anyone on the ground at the time of the crash.
According to audio of the final moments before the crash, the pilot of the twin-engine plane – traveling close to 200 mph – announced over the radio he was a mile out.
