ANGWIN, Calif. - A single engine plane crashed Friday morning in a Napa County vineyard with three people on board, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and witnesses.
A single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza clipped trees while the pilot was trying to execute a missed approach at Angwin Airport-Parrett Field in Angwin, Calif., around 8:40 a.m.
said Ian Gregor a spokesman for the FAA. The plane crashed south of the airport and caught fire, he said. Witnesses told KTVU that the plane crashed just outside the Abreu Vineyards.
A call to the vineyard was not immediately returned Friday morning. William Odegard told KTVU in a tweet that he saw a small explosion just outside the Las Posadas Forest.
