The Brief

    • Two people escaped injury after their small plane crashed into the garage of a home in Temple City.
    • The crash happened about a mile from the El Monte Airport.
    • It's the second crash to be reported in a week.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - A homeowner was shocked to see a small plane crash-land in her backyard. 

It happened just before 8 a.m. in the 4900 block of Arden Drive and Temple Street in the Temple City neighborhood. 

"I thought it was an earthquake. I looked out my backyard and saw two guys standing there and thought who are they and they were the pilot and passenger," Shelley Heaton said. 

The pilot and passenger escaped with no injuries. The Cessna 150 was sandwiched in between two homes and cushioned by the bushes.

The homeowner said the Cessna hit her tree in her backyard, then landed on top of her fence.
