Corona CA Plane Collision Tribute

Five people were killed after two small planes collided over Southern California, according to a new death toll announced by authorities on Monday.

Paul Carlson, 73, and neighbor Scott Lawrence, 55, both lived on Fallcreek Lane in Cerritos. Carlson, a retired Army major, was the pilot.

Four people were killed aboard the two Cessna airplanes and one on the ground at an auto dealership was killed by falling debris.

No one else was hurt, though wreckage fell on three car dealerships, all of which remained closed to customers as investigators combed through the debris.

In addition to Lawrence and Carlson, the Riverside County Coroner's Office identified the dead as Brandon William Johnson, 24, of Costa Mesa; Anthony Joel Guzman, 20, of Hesperia; and Earl Smiddy, 58, of Moreno Valley, who was on the ground.
