Pilot Killed When Plane Crashes On House's Front Lawn

 

CHINO, Calif. -- A single engine plane crashed Friday on a front lawn of a single family home's lawn in Chino, officials said.

 

The pilot, who was traveling alone, was killed. No one on the ground was hurt.

 

There was no report of damage to the house. The plane crashed about 1 foot from the house.

 

 

The registration and type is unknown.

I think it is a CTSW series home-built single-engined kitplane like the one below which someone offered to sell to me @ USD100k.

 

 

I couldn't imagine how serious the crash to result in death because it is a really light a/c (fiberglass materials) used for recreation sports. At around 450kgs, it is even lighter than an American SUV.

That's the same question is buzzing around my head right now

 

Just got the registration of the aircraft. It's: N51291
