A single-engine plane crashed short of runways 26L-R at Ontario International Airport (ONT/KONT) in Ontario, California. Two people on board were injured in the accident, which occurred Thursday June 10, at 4:27 PM. The aircraft involved was Piper PA-46-310P Malibu (c/n 468508105) N121HJ operated by Kenosha LLC.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the aircraft was on final approach to land when the pilot indicated to air traffic control (ATC) that his engine was running rough. It appears that the engine failed as the aircraft was on a short final to Rwy 26L. The plane made a forced landing short of the runway in a field east of S. Haven Ave. A small brush fire started in the field, but it was quickly extinguished by the Fire Department
