https://lbpost.com/news/small-plane-crashes-at-heartwell-park-in-long-beach/Authorities say two people were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries after a small plane crashed into a person as it made an emergency landing at Heartwell Park, northeast of Long Beach Airport.
Firefighters responded to a soccer field at the park at about 4 p.m. after they were notified of the crash near Carson Street just east of Woodruff Avenue, said Long Beach Fire Department Capt. Jack Crabtree.
When firefighters arrived, they found a small aircraft on its belly with broken landing gear, Crabtree said.
Firefighters pulled the pilot, an elderly man, out of the plane’s cockpit and took him to a hospital, Crabtree said. Paramedics also took a woman in her 40s to a hospital for treatment after she was struck by the plane when it attempted to land in the park.
