“We received reports of a plane down around 10:30 a.m. between Santa Paula and Fillmore in the 20000 block of Telegraph Road, which is near the 126 and the red school house,” said Captain Stand Ziegler of the Ventura County Fire Department.

Ziegler said that the plane went down in a sparsely populated area, and no structures were damaged in the crash.

Two minor injuries were reported as a result of the incident, according to officials.

“The two patients were airlifted from the scene to an awaiting ambulance which transported the two to a local trauma center,” Ziegler said.

According to Ventura County Fire Department’s Public Information Office Twitter, the pilot reported a power failure and attempted to land in a nearby riverbed.

Ventura County Sheriff’s officials are currently conducting an investigation into the exact nature and cause of that power failure.
