IV plane crash claims life of one person

One person is dead and another is injured following a plane crash near Highway 78 and Ted Kipf Road.

The Imperial County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the crash happened on Thursday.

The two people on board the aircraft have not yet been identified.

We have been in contact with the lead investigator from The National Transportation Safety Board who was working on scene today.

Our news crew was asked to leave the crash site as it happened on private property.

We also spoke to a witness near-by who was first on the scene but they did not want to speak on camera.

They say they believe it may have been a husband and wife flying that plane but they were not certain.

At this time we are waiting to hear back pending the results of the investigation.
