A pilot and a passenger were injured when a small plane crash landed west of Lake Hughes near Fox Airfield on Thursday night.
Lancaster Sheriff’s Station received a 911 call from the pilot of a small plane advising he crashed approximately five miles west of Fox Airfield in Lancaster at approximately 8:15 p.m.
The 70-year-old pilot further advised he and his 74-year-old male passenger sustained minor injuries.
He described his plane as a “Beech Craft Bonanza”. Lancaster Station immediately notified Los Angeles County Fire Department and dispatched Lancaster patrol units to the area west of Fox Airfield.
Lancaster patrol units were unable to locate the downed plane. A short time later, Los Angeles County Fire Department Airship responded and located the downed plane several miles further west than the pilot thought he crashed.
The plane was found in a mountainous area west of the Lake Hughes community. The Fire Department airship landed, treated both pilot and passenger and transported them by air to a local hospital.
Los Angeles County Fire advised pilot and passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries and both are doing well.
The crash scene has been secured by Palmdale Sheriff’s Station patrol deputies pending the response of Sheriff’s Department Aero Bureau and FAA investigators who will arrive in the morning.
