COLUMBIA, Calif., July 28 (UPI) -- Four people died when their twin-engine Cessna burst into flames after hitting a fuel truck while landing at a northern California airport.
The Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said the private plane was engulfed in flames when emergency crews arrived at the scene. The plane had been coming in for a landing from the north about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, veered off the runway and crashed. The fire spread to the surrounding brush and grass but was quickly extinguished.
