Small Plane Crashes Into Home

A small plane crashed into a house near South Lake Tahoe, California, on Saturday, an FAA official said.

The wooded residential area is just south of the airport. The crash occurred about 5:40 p.m.

The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office was not immediately available to provide details about the condition of the people in the plane.

Authorities say two people were on board the plane, identified as Beech 35 Bonanza, when it crashed.

There were no injuries to anyone inside the house, he said.

Miller said two people and a dog inside the home got out safely and no one on the ground was hurt.

“They were sitting there relaxing in the living room and they heard what sounded like a tree had fallen”, she said.

Local emergency responders from Lake Valley Fire Protection District, South Tahoe Fire and Rescue, Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District, US Forest Service and Cal Fire are all on scene.
