Police officials present at the accident scene shared that around 200 people were working inside the furniture manufacturing unit during the crash. The small plane rammed into the roof of this huge building and injured at least 18 people. Among the injured people, ten were rushed to a hospital for necessary treatment. The rest of the eight people received treatment at the accident spot and were soon released too.

Unfortunately, two people lost their lives. As of now, there is no information about the confirmed identities of the deceased. Kristy Wells, a Fullerton police spokesperson, said that it is yet to be known whether people who died were travelling on the aircraft or were in the building, according to a report by The New Indian Express.

FlightAware, a flight-tracking website, revealed that the private plane crashed the manufacturing facility soon after taking off from the runway. It departed from the Fullerton Municipal Airport in Orange County and hit the building within less than two minutes. This airport in Orange County is located only 10 kilometres away from the iconic Disneyland.
