CASTAIC, Calif. — Authorities say a small plane has crashed in rural Ventura County, but all three people on board survived.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the pilot in the private plane reported engine trouble after taking off from the Camarillo Airport at about 7 p.m. Friday.
The plane came down in an orchard about a half-mile south of Highway 126 near Lake Piru.
Gregor says the three people had only minor injuries and were able to get out of the plane on their own.
They were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
