Plane Crashes into House
A single-engine plane that appeared to have been performing an aerobatic stunt lost control and crashed into a suburban home Sunday, killing at least two people and sparking a fire that gutted the house in Roseville, Cailf.
The crash left a gaping, smoldering hole in the two-story house it directly hit and set fire to an adjacent house, damaging the garage and attic.
One body was visible in the wreckage.
Placer County Deputy Coroner T. Sinclair confirmed that two people were on the plane, and a teenage boy who lived in the house was unaccounted for. Neighbors said the boy's family was out of town for the weekend, and it was unclear if he was home at the time.
Sinclair said no one could have survived the crash, but he was unable to confirm any deaths Sunday because the Federal Aviation Administration wasn't allowing officials into the wreckage to retrieve bodies until Monday.
The plane -- which the FAA identified as a 1996 Glasair II -- appeared to be doing an aerobatic maneuver when it crashed just before 11:30 AM.
