“I was standing at the kitchen window and I heard this loud scream like eeee. I look up and I saw the airplane coming. Boom. I thought it landed in the intersection, but apparently it hit the UPS truck,” said a Santee resident. 

A UPS driver was struck by the plane in the street. The wing of the small plane clipped the UPS truck at the intersection of Jeremy and Greencastle Street. UPS has confirmed that the driver died from the accident. 

The FAA and NTSB have taken over the case from Santee Fire Department. This is still an ongoing investigation.
