Los Angeles, CA – Plane Crash Takes the Life of a Pilot near 5 Freeway in Sylmar

Los Angeles, CA (August 12, 2018) – According to authorities in Los Angeles, a small plane crash took the life of a pilot in the city on Sunday afternoon. The exact time of the accident was not provided in the original report, but the location of the crash was confirmed to have been a field in Sylmar, near the Interstate 5 Freeway.

Authorities confirmed that the plane involved in this wreck was a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft. However, the reason why the plane crashed and subsequently killed the pilot who was the sole occupant has not been determined at this time.

The Los Angeles Fire Department was quickly called to the scene to assist the lone victim. Firefighters pulled the pilot from the wreckage. However, the victim was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

There was no further information made available regarding the nature of this crash in the initial report. The NTSB is the organization that is currently in charge of leading the investigation into the incident.

We sincerely offer our most heartfelt sympathies and deepest condolences to the family members and other loved ones of the victim during this tragic and devastating time.

Los Angeles Aviation Accident and Wrongful Death

The NTSB is certainly evaluating all aspects of this accident, although they are likely investigating the mechanics of the plane, primarily. In the event that mechanical failure of the aircraft that was beyond the pilots’ control, led to the fatal crash, then the family members of the victim will likely obtain solid grounds for a wrongful death claim. Of course, the choice to file a claim for compensation is a personal one that can only be decided by the bereaved family.
