On April 19, 2020, about 1040 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 152 airplane N6306P, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Corona, California. The private pilot and passenger were seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The passenger reported that he was managing ForeFlight on his iPad while the pilot was flying the airplane. The pilot started and taxied uneventfully; a runup was conducted and no anomalies were noted. The pilot departed and completed one circuit in the pattern and a touch and go. Shortly after, while turning onto the crosswind leg of the traffic pattern, the pilot stated, "oh we are going down". The passenger looked up confused and within about 10 seconds they impacted something and came to rest upside down on a roadway. Due to noise cancelling headphones, he did not hear the engine quit, nor did he hear it make any abnormal noise.
The airplane has been recovered to a secure location for further examination.

A pilot and passenger were injured Sunday, April 19, when the single-engine plane they were in crashed and flipped over a short distance from Corona Municipal Airport, firefighters said.
There was no fire from the 10:48 a.m. crash on a service road southwest of the airport. The pilot had moderate injuries and the passenger, who was walking outside the aircraft after the crash, had minor injuries, said Corona Fire Department spokesman John DeYoe.
Pilot and passenger, whom DeYoe described as men in their upper 50s, were hospitalized. The airport remained in operation, DeYoe said.
The plane was engaged in a training exercise, DeYoe said. “They were doing two touchdowns (landing-and-takeoffs) and on the second touchdown they came around and they lost power and nosed into a service road … the plane then flipped over onto its top,” he said.
Because there was no fire, the first fire engine at the scene had trouble finding the downed aircraft, which was outside the airport property, DeYoe said.
A drone from the Corona Police Department was sent airborne, and its camera spotted the downed craft, DeYoe said. “There’s a lot of things you can utilize those things for,” he said.
The plane’s registration with the FAA said it is a Cessna 152 based in Corona, with the notation “sale reported” in place of an owner’s name.
DeYoe said the National Transportation and Safety Board was not sending an investigator to the site because of coronavirus contagion restrictions. Instead, the NTSB requested that police take specific photos of the wreckage, he said.
“From the sounds of it, they are not going to be out at all,” DeYoe said, due to the travel restrictions, and also because of the type of crash — the plane was still intact, and there were no serious injuries
DeYoe said he did not know Sunday afternoon whether it was an instructor-and-student flight or just two men aboard the plane with one practicing the touchdowns.
In January, four people died in a fiery single-engine plane crash during takeoff at Corona Municipal Airport.
