Single-Engine Plane Crashes In Compton Back Yard
Source: CBS
A single-engine Piper PA28 airplane took off Wednesday from Compton/Woodley Airport with one passenger, and after flying briefly, the plane experienced engine failure.
The pilot attempted to land the plane on Central Avenue but was unable to do so.
He was forced to make an emergency landing about 2:40 p.m. in the backyard of home on the 1800 block of Reeve Street in Compton, about two blocks south of Alondra Boulevard.
The pilot suffered a deep cut above his left eye from the impact of the crash; however, he was able to get out of the plane before paramedics arrived.
