UPDATE 11:34 a.m. Investigators have found a second body at the Southern California site where a small plane crashed after a midair collision with another small plane that managed to make a belly landing on a golf course.
Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Tony Imbrenda says the discovery was made Tuesday in the Santa Monica Mountains west of Los Angeles.
The midair collision occurred about 2 p.m. Monday, sending one of the planes plunging onto a ridge, where it ignited a half-acre brush fire.
Update 10:48 a.m.: Investigators are in the Santa Monica Mountains west of Los Angeles examining charred wreckage of a small plane that crashed, killing the pilot, after colliding with another plane that managed a belly landing on a golf course.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Tony Imbrenda says Tuesday that no human remains or other evidence have been removed from the site on a ridge in the mountain range north of Malibu near the city of Calabasas. The crash of the Cessna 172 sparked a brush fire Monday afternoon.
Three people on the other plane, also a Cessna, suffered minor injuries as it landed wheels-up on a fairway at Westlake Golf Course, about six miles away.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer says radar records show the two flight paths crossed about 2 p.m.
PREVIOUSLY: Two small airplanes with a combined four people aboard collided in midair over the Southern California mountains, sending one crashing into a rocky ridge and killing its pilot while the second was able to maneuver a belly-flop landing on the fairway of a nearby golf course, officials said.
Rescuers searched through the wreckage of the plane that crashed and sparked a fire in rocky terrain in Calabasas on Monday and found a body that was believed to be the only person aboard, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
