San Francisco, CA – Woman Injured in Dog Attack on Washington St

Redding, CA (August 28, 2020) – A plane accident early Thursday morning claimed the lives of two victims and left two others injured. Just after 6:45 a.m., on August 27, the Redding Police Department responded to the scene of a crash off Gold Street.

Reports provided by the Federal Aviation Administration show that a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza was traveling near the Benton Airpark, located off Gold Street while carrying four people on board. For unknown reasons, the plane crashed into a ravine.

The impact of the crash caused a fire, which spanned nearly half of an acre. Firefighters responded to the scene and fought the blaze to access the plane.

Inside the aircraft, officers with the Redding Police Department located the bodies of two deceased parties. Two others were located on the plane with serious injuries. The two injured parties were rushed to area hospitals for treatment.

At this time, the police and the FAA are investigating the cause of the crash.

Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their fast and full recovery.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims who lost their lives in this accident.

Fatal Plane Accidents in California

Each year, aviation accidents claim the lives of around 500 people in the United States. Although plane crashes are not as frequent as accidents involving other types of vehicles, they are often catastrophic and fatal when they do take place. Many plane accidents occur as a result of pilot error. However, defective parts and air control commination problems are two other common factors in these accidents. The impacts of plane accidents are far-reaching. They often leave grieving families with tens of thousands of dollars in expenses related to funerals, burial arrangements, property damages, and lost wages.

Although there is truly no amount of compensation that can ever replace the lives of those taken away from us so tragically, pursuing legal options after a tragic loss can help families obtain the financial resources they need to move forward and recover. In addition to helping grieving families cope with their tragic loss, wrongful death lawsuits set precedents to let others sharing the road know what types of actions will not be tolerated. Civil routes ensure families are able to move forward and reach their goals while taking proactive measures to ensure their friends, families, and neighbors are safer. In Northern California, families who lose loved ones due to the negligent actions are able to reach out to a San Francisco wrongful death attorney to seek justice and compensation to alleviate the financial burdens they face moving forward.
