CARSON, Calif. (KTLA) – Two people aboard a small aircraft miraculously walked away from a crash landing onto a golf course in Carson Sunday with no more than just a few scratches.
Details are extremely limited and the exact cause of the crash is under investigation, but officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department said crews responded to the Victoria Golf Course, located at 340 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. at around 3:45 p.m., on reports of the downed plane.
Bystanders captured video of the moments then plane went down on the course.
Richard Peters, who was in the middle of a game at Victoria Golf Course, told KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff that he noticed the plane malfunctioning near the driving range.
“Obviously, it lost power, probably ran out of gas, the propeller stopped turning,” he explained.
Peters added that golfers scrambled to avoid the incoming plane and, fortunately, no one was injured.
“We got over there, the guys broke the window with a golf club and the two people, they looked like a couple, just crawled right out,” he said. “I can’t believe anybody just walked out of there like that.”
