Two people and a dog were aboard a small plane that crashed into a Monterey house Tuesday.
According to reporting by KSBW, the family of 61-year-old Rancho Cordova resident Alice Diane Emig confirmed she was a passenger aboard the plane piloted by Mary Ellen Carlin of Pacific Grove. Emig’s dog was also aboard.
Carlin was planning to fly Emig from Monterey to Mather in the Sacramento area.
The family said deputies told them no one survived the crash.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Tuesday night that a body had been found inside the wreckage. The crash was reported Tuesday morning at the home in the Monterra Ranch subdivision near Highway 68.
Monterey County Regional Fire District Deputy Fire Marshal Dorothy Priollo said no one was home when the plane slammed into it. The resulting fire burned the home and extended into the brush but was contained to less than an acre. No other homes were affected.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board were investigating the crash.
