Three people are dead and at least two were injured in a crash that also destroyed two houses in Riverside, California, on Monday. A Cessna 310 took off from Riverside Municipal Airport around 5 p.m. headed for San Jose and crashed about a half mile from the airport. The aircraft reportedly had five occupants, a man, a woman and three teenagers. The woman was thrown from the airplane on impact and suffered only minor injuries. A second survivor was taken to a hospital and is in surgery, according to the local Mercury News.

Witnesses told local reporters the woman crawled from the home asking for help, and she was able to talk to firefighters about what had happened. She was taken to Riverside Community Hospital. The ensuing fire burned two houses to the ground and damaged some other nearby houses. The group was heading home after aweekend cheerleading competition at Disney California Adventure Park.
