A PLANE crash has killed at least four people and injured two after hurtling into two homes, authorities have confirmed.
Riverside Fire Chief Michael Moore revealed the Cessna's occupants, a husband, wife and three teenagers, were returning to San Jose on Monday after a weekend cheerleading conference at Disneyland.
Moore added that one of the teenagers, a girl, was thrown from the plane on impact and had only minor injuries.
She was able to talk to firefighters about the crash as she was taken to a hospital.
The jet, a Cessna 310, crashed shortly after taking off from Riverside Municipal Airport heading for San Jose.
Four bodies have been found in the wreckage but firefighters have not worked out exactly how many were from the plane and how many from the homes.
They are looking for additional possible victims in the wreckage.
Horrified witnesses told local news a woman wriggled out from one of the houses with her clothes still on fire and claiming to be the pilot.
“I heard people screaming and yelling."
Both homes were destroyed with minor damage to surrounding houses.
More to follow.
