Authorities are currently searching for survivors following a plane crash that occurred in San Bernardino County on Saturday night. Reports indicate that a twin-engine Gulfstream AC95 aircraft crashed near Palm Avenue and West Verdemont Drive in the Verdemont neighborhood of San Bernardino at around 8:15 p.m. First responders have been facing challenges due to heavy rain and gusty winds, which have hampered search efforts.
At this time, it is unknown how many passengers were on board during the crash or if there have been any fatalities. Witnesses reported hearing an engine sputter followed by an impact, and a red light flash was seen in the area. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has confirmed these reports and mentioned that due to unfavorable weather conditions, an airship was unable to fly. The search is set to continue on Sunday morning, with further updates expected to be released once additional details are available.
Investigations are underway by both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board to determine the cause of the crash. As this is a developing story, KTLA will provide updates as more information becomes available.
