On Thursday afternoon in Santa Cruz, California, two small aircrafts were trying to land at the Watsonville Regional Airport when they were involved in a mid-air collision. Authorities believe that the accident resulted in the deaths of multiple people. 

According to KSBW 8, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that three individuals were on board a twin-engine Cessna 340, and one individual was on board a single-engine Cessna 152 whenever the planes collided with each other. In addition, one of the planes had also apparently crashed into a hangar, as shown in a photo shared online by the City of Watsonville. 

Following the mid-air collision, one of the airplanes went down and smashed into one of the hangar buildings at the airport. KRON4 received a video from a witness showing the plane emitting black smoke and flames.

The second aircraft went down in a field at the junction of Buena Vista Drive and Calabasas Road, located close to a residential area. 

Following a collision between two planes attempting to land at Watsonville Municipal Airport, the city tweeted that various agencies had gone to the scene. And that there were several accounts of people losing their lives. It was 2:56 p.m. when reports began arriving. The investigation is currently under process, and more developments will be provided.
