I visited on 14 August 2022, less than a week after the plane crashed on the freeway. More can be found from this article, "A small plane crashed in the eastbound lanes of the 91 Freeway in Corona, according to the CHP.
The plane crash was reported in the eastbound lanes of the 91 Freeway, just west of the 15 Freeway at about 12:30 p.m. Two people were on board the single engine Piper Cherokee, California Highway Patrol officials reported.
According to the CHP, the plane was on final approach to Corona Municipal Airport when the pilot experienced a possible engine failure and was forced to land on the freeway. The plane hit at least one vehicle, a Toyota Tundra pickup truck, the CHP said.
The aircraft was engulfed in flames as firefighters arrived on the scene, however, no one was hurt, either on the plane or in the truck that was hit.
"It's amazing nobody else was injured," said Edward Pajardo, a witness."
