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.
