LOS ANGELES, California — A small plane crashed into a commercial building in California on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring 18 others, police said.
The crash took place early in the afternoon near Fullerton Municipal Airport, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The cause remains unknown.
"There are two confirmed fatalities," Fullerton police said on X.
Additionally, 10 people were hospitalized and eight others were treated at the scene.
The MMDA is not among the agencies exempted from the ban on sirens and blinkers under AO No. 18. The two MMDA enforcers were pulled over on Wednesday night last week at the corner of Aseana Avenue and JW Diokno Boulevard in Parañaque by members of the police Highway Patrol Group who spotted the PNP stickers on the motorcycles.
Investigators do not yet know if the deceased were plane passengers or if they were workers at the building where it crashed, a police officer told local station KTLA.
Television footage showed a gaping hole in the roof of the building, with smoke pouring out.

The plane was a single-engine Van's RV-10, a small model with four seats, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which has opened an investigation.
