No injury was reported on Thursday afternoon after a single-engine motor aircraft left the track at Fullerton municipal airport.
The accident occurred around 5.30 p.m. at 4011 West Commonwealth Avenue. Fulerton Fire’s battalion chief Jordan Morris told Oc Hawk News that the plane could not stop before the end of the track and “fled” in the runoff before stopping.
The two passengers aboard the Cirrus SR22 aircraft were not injured.
Earlier this year, a small VANS RV-10 experimental plane crashed through the roof of Michael Nicholas Designs, a large furniture manufacturing building in Fullerton on January 3. The pilot had struck up an emergency landing request by radio at the municipal airport in Fullerton Court-Circuit. Pascal Reid pilot and his daughter Kelly from Huntington Beach, died.
19 other people working inside the building were injured and several were burned.
Before that, two people aboard a 1969 Mooney M-20 underwent moderate injuries after the pilot struck a tree and crashed in a street in Fullerton in November 2024. He had tried to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Fullerton municipal airport.
