According to the Long Beach Fire Department’s Facebook update, the incident happened around 4 p.m. on a soccer field at Heartwell Park.

“Upon arrival, units discovered a small aircraft resting on its belly with its landing gears broken, though the fuselage remained intact. During the landing, the plane struck a pedestrian in the park,” the department noted.

Preliminary information indicates the plane was headed back to Compton after a stop in French Valley when it went down, the fire department said.

The pilot of the “possibly experimental aircraft” may have been attempting to make it to Long Beach Airport for an emergency landing, about a mile and a half from where the plane crashed, KTLA reported.
