Catalina Island, CA – Three People Hospitalized Following Small Plane Crash on Wednesday Morning

Catalina Island, CA (July 25, 2018) – According to a local and trustworthy news source, a small plane crashed while taking off from Catalina Island, resulting in the serious injuries of three people Wednesday morning. The small plane crash reportedly occurred just after takeoff at approximately 9:45 a.m.

As per the report, the Cessna was the only vehicle involved in the accident and emergency responders were immediately dispatched to the scene. Paramedics along with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were the first responders to arrive. Paramedics quickly transported all three victims to local hospitals to undergo treatment. The injured parties were transported via air ambulances.

At this time, it is unclear as to whether or not the victims were aboard the plane or on the ground during the accident. Moreover, what caused the aircraft to crash is presently unknown. No information has been released in regards to the names of those involved or the extent of the victims’ injuries. The Federal Aviation Administration is the organization that is currently leading the investigation into this accident.

We would like to sincerely offer our most heartfelt compassion to the victims of this crash as we absolutely maintain hope for their full recoveries.

While there are many questions that need answers in an accident such as this one, investigators are likely looking mostly at the condition of the plane prior to takeoff. Faulty mechanics are generally accountable for any small plane crash, in which case there may likely be a path toward seeking financial compensation available to the victims. Of course, if the pilot of the plane is determined to have been operating the aircraft in a negligent manner, the same opportunity to seek financial recompense will apply. However, the choice to file a claim is a terribly personal decision that can only be made by the victims.
