Jesuit High School says Fox is a mother to a sophomore student attending the school, adding that Fox's friend also died in the plane crash.Investigators say the plane's destination was unknown. An emergency beacon helped first responders locate the wreckage. At the time of the crash, there was heavy fog in the area.
"It was was a pea soup fog on Friday afternoon," said National Park Service ranger Charlie Strickfaden. Investigators have not determined if weather was a factor in the crash but confirmed the pilot was using VFR, visual flight rules to navigate not IFR or instrument flight rules, typically used in bad weather.
"We know there was fog in the area, however we will gather all the information and meteorological information to see how the plane interacted with the environment," Nepomuceno added. Investigators plan to remove the aircraft from the crash site Sunday and take the wreckage to Sacramento for further analysis. It could be months before a cause of the crash is determined.
