A fiery plane crash in Hawthorne early Friday morning left two people on board the plane seriously injured.
At 12:37 a.m., the Los Angeles County Fire Department received a call that a small, single-engine aircraft had crashed on 126th Street, near the intersection of Hawthorne and El Segundo boulevards.
When emergency services arrived, they determined that two people were on board the plane and were seriously injured, firefighters said.
Gerald Johnson, who said he was charging his electric vehicle near the crash site, told KTTV-TV that he and another man pulled one of the victims from the wreckage.
The two people were taken to a nearby hospital. Neither of them was identified.
The plane crashed about two miles from Hawthorne Municipal Airport.
Authorities said no one on the ground was injured and no buildings were damaged.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
