A small aircraft crashed into a commercial warehouse in Fullerton, California, on Tuesday afternoon, injuring at least 18 people and causing significant damage. The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. in the 2300 block of Raymer Avenue, according to local authorities.

Officials reported that the plane, described as a home-built four-seater, struck the roof of a furniture manufacturing warehouse while on approach to Fullerton Airport.

The impact created a large gaping hole in the building’s roof, as seen in video footage from the scene, before igniting a fire that sent thick plumes of black smoke into the sky, visible from miles away.

Fire crews from Fullerton and the Orange County Fire Authority swiftly responded to the scene, conducting evacuations and establishing a triage area to treat the injured.

Those affected included individuals inside the warehouse at the time of the crash. The extent of their injuries has not been disclosed.
