A pilot died after crashing a single-engine plane into a home in Upland, setting it ablaze Thursday morning as two people inside managed to escape unharmed, authorities said.
The plane was leaving Cable Airport in Upland when it collided into the house, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Ann Burdett, who lives next door, said she was at her computer facing a window that looks out to the home when she heard a “sudden explosion.” “I felt the impact,” Burdett said. “The blinds were shut but they were that bright color.” She screamed and her husband came running from his office in their home, yelling, “Get out! Get out!,” she said. “So we grabbed our cell phones and ran out.” When they came out of their garage, they saw their neighbor’s “whole house was engulfed” in flames, she said.Upland(Update): Overland IC is reporting fire under control, and exposure threats mitigated.Crews remain to work diligently to preserve the scene for further investigation.Units to remain on scene for overhaul.
