Small plane crashes near Gilroy, no survivors
FOUR PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD
By Kimra McPherson
Mercury News

Search teams found a missing plane in the rugged terrain near Coyote Lake this morning, but there appears to be no survivors, according to officials.

Four people were on board the single-engine Cessna 172, which was registered to Leonard Vongiese that crashed Wednesday night. Searchers have not confirmed all four are dead, but the remnants of the plane are charred.

Initial searches for the plane turned up no evidence of wreckage Wednesday night, but the rainy weather and hilly terrain made the search difficult, officials had reported.

The Federal Aviation Administration received a distress call from a pilot shortly before 9 p.m. who said he was about 3 miles east of South County Airport in San Martin, officials said Wednesday. The FAA confirmed that a plane had been reported missing. Three witnesses reported seeing a plane go down, including one who said the plane appeared to be doing acrobatics.
