A small plane crashed on a California freeway on Friday just before 10 a.m., injuring two people, fire officials said. John Wayne Airport confirmed a Cessna 310 aircraft crashed on the 405 Freeway in Costa Mesa at 9:35 a.m.

The two people injured were the only two passengers on board, a John Wayne Airport spokeswoman told Fox News. The 1975 Cessna was en route from Palm Springs to John Wayne Airport.

The twin-engine, six-seater aircraft was flying near the airport when it came “just short of the runway,” Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said. He said the crash occurred under “unknown circumstances.” – Fox News
