The crash left wreckage strewn along a commercial strip near the Riverside Freeway, Jessica Martinez, a worker at a nearby restaurant, told CNN.Eyewitness Jeff Hardin said the smaller plane "just disintegrated into pieces" in the collision, while the larger plane "pretty much stayed intact and started spiraling down."
"There were maybe 50 pieces coming down," he said.
The aircraft involved were both single-engine Cessnas, a two-seat Cessna 150 and a four-seat Cessna 172, Kenitzer said. It was not immediately clear which aircraft was carrying a passenger, he said.
