LAPD officers pulls pilot out of plane before being struck by a train

A pilot was hospitalized after their plane crashed in Pacoima on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The crash, which occurred shortly after 2 p.m., involved a “small single engine airplane,” which was damaged when it landed on the Metrolink Antelope Valley line train tracks near Whiteman Airport, the LAFD said in a pair of alerts.

The Associated Press identified the plane as a Cessna 172.

After the pilot was removed from the plane by the Los Angeles Police Department, the aircraft was struck by an oncoming train, the LAPD Operations-Valley Bureau said on Twitter.

The pilot was taken by the LAFD to a regional trauma center for treatment, the Fire Department added.

Body camera footage from the officers involved appears to show that the pilot is a middle-aged man, but the pilot’s name, age and condition have not yet been released.

Train and car traffic have been restricted as officials contain a minor fuel spill and investigate the scene, firefighters said.

“One or more lanes of San Fernando Road and/or Osborne Street in the immediate area” are closed, the LAFD said, and drivers should “expect congestion and delay, avoid the area and consider an alternate route.”
