LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Fire Department says one person was found dead following an intensive search for a small airplane that crashed in a foggy area Saturday night. The fire department issued an online alert at 11:20 p.m. saying one victim was found at the scene where the single-engine aircraft crashed. The victim was not immediately identified and no one else was believed to have been on the plane. Ground crews located the downed plane on a steep hill above a home.
