One of the two people aboard was pronounced dead at the scene. The second was transported to a local hospital, where they were in critical condition. Authorities have not identified the victim.
Early details indicate the plane’s tail fin struck electrical lines during the crash, which led to a power outage affecting nearly 2,000 PG&E customers.
