By Iris Salem, Joy Benedict and Dean Fioresi LANCASTER, California (KCAL, KCBS) — One person is dead after two small planes collided mid-air in Lancaster on Sunday afternoon. It happened at around 1 p.m. in the skies over 50th Street East and E. Avenue E, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The crash involved a single-engine Nanchang CJ-6 and a single-engine Yakovlev Yak-52, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Crews arrived to both locations where the planes landed, separated by about two and a half miles. One pilot crashed near 60th Street East and Avenue G and was uninjured. The other pilot, only identified as a man believed to be in his 50s, died when he crashed near 47th Street East and E. Avenue F, authorities said. “Only the pilots were on board the aircrafts,” said a statement from the FAA, who are investigating the incident along with the National Transportation Safety Board. No further information was provided from authorities. Stephan Wilson was sitting about 50 yards away from where the deceased pilot crashed. He said he heard a disturbing pop in the sky shortly before he witnessed the small plane spiraling down before landing in a cloud of dust. “I took off to see if he was alright or if he’d be alright,” Wilson said, noting that there was nothing he could do except call 911. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. It’s unclear if the two planes were flying together. The-CNN-Wire & © 2024 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Two St. Lucian nationals are due to appear in court this week in connection with the death of Jones Brankar, who was stabbed to death earlier this month. Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police, Jeffrey James, said that Mikhail Carlos Leo has been charged with the murder of Brankar that took place on September 14, near the Roseau Market. He said that another St. Lucan, Christian Mariel has been charged with being an accessory after the fact and that both men are due to appear in court this week on the charges. Police say they are also investigating the discovery of a child’s corpse on the seashore at Penville, on the north coast of the island. The police said that they are soliciting the assistance of the public in identifying the body that was discovered on September 22. Media reports here say that preliminary investigations suggest that the child may have been a passenger on a capsized vessel carrying Haitians, which was en route to the neighbouring French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Meanwhile, a 15-year-old boy remains in custody and charged with attempted murder of a man on September 13. In the statement Monday, the police said that the youth has since appeared at the Roseau Magistrate’s Court and remanded into custody.
