The pilot of a small plane was killed Saturday in Rosemead after attempting an emergency landing near railroad tracks and a parking lot, authorities said.
The crash occurred about 4:20 p.m. near Walnut Grove Avenue, just north of Grand Avenue.
Officials believe the pilot of the single-engine 1977 Beechcraft Bonanza was trying to make an emergency landing near a supermarket parking lot when it crashed.
The pilot - whose identity was not released Saturday night - was killed, Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Fred Stowers said.
The plane is registered to David E. Flotho of Grants Pass, Ore., according to a federal registry.
"We don't know what happened," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Walker. "We don't know if it lost power. The plane was fully engulfed when we got here."
The plane had departed from Brackett Field in La Verne - about 25 miles east of the crash site - and was headed to Van Nuys, said Ian Gregor, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Walker said at one point the pilot "was in contact with the El Monte (Airport) tower."
Crowds of residents gathered near the site of the crash Saturday night where firefighters doused the wreckage with fire retardant. Witnesses reported seeing smoke coming from the plane before it crashed and burst into flames.
Walker said deputies who were doing a traffic stop in the area right before the crash occurred saw
