STOCKTON, Calif. — A man killed in a plane crash in San Bernardino was identified Monday.
A Riverside man, 35-year-old Blake E. Broadbent, died after a plane flying out of Stockton crashed Saturday night, according to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office. FlightRadar24 data shows the plane flew out of Stockton.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office, witnesses heard a plane sputter and crash in the north end of San Bernardino around 8:21 p.m. Saturday. Deputies responded, but they couldn't search the mountain area due to the terrain. Weather also restricted the sheriff's Aviation Division from helping.
However, on Sunday the Aviation Division found a debris field in the mountains north of Devil's Canyon. Search and Rescue teams were sent into the field with an investigator from the coroner's office where they found a man's body.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the crash involved a twin-engine Gulfstream AC95.
The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an independent investigation.
