Crews arrived and found that the plane, which appeared to have overturned in the incident, was not on fire.

Despite initial reports from firefighters claiming that two people were taken to the hospital, Sling Pilot Academy CEO Matt Liknaitzky says that no one on the ground or on the plane were injured.

SkyCal flew over the spot of the crash, where the plane could be seen underneath a large tree. It was overturned and appeared to have suffered damage to both wings and the tail empennage. 

The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. 

"A single-engine Sling LSA crashed in Carson, California around 3:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, December 22," said a statement from the FAA. "Two people were on board. The FAA will investigate."

This is a developing story. Check back for details.
