Small plane crashes in Ventura County as two pulled from wreckage

A small plane crashed in Ventura County on Sunday night, leaving both people onboard in critical condition, authorities said.

The single-engine aircraft went down in a drainage canal in the city of Camarillo shortly after 6 p.m., the Ventura County Fire Department announced on X.

Firefighters pulled two people from the plane and they were rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, according to VCFD.

The aircraft did not strike any homes or other structures in the crash.

A shocking photo shared by the county fire department shows the doomed plane came to a rest upside down.

“Firefighters are remaining on scene to address and mitigate any remaining hazards,” VCFD said.

The Federal Aviation Administration was notified of the crash, the fire department said.

The Post has reached out to the FAA for more information.
