The Cessna 310 crashed about a half-mile northeast of the Riverside Municipal Airport, according to Ian Gregor, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman. It had departed from Riverside en route to San Jose.

"I heard an explosion, witnessed a large plume of smoke coming from the scene and rushed over," Chloe Hirohata, who lives nearby, told CNN in an email.
She added: "I did not know the people that lived in the house, sadly."
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
