He said firefighters were still on scene at about 1:10 p.m. and were in contact with the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates all aircraft crashes in the United States.
Ottolini said the aircraft went down in a vineyard at Camino Diablo and Vasco Road, about two-and-a-half miles northwest of Byron Airport. The aircraft did not catch fire. The two occupants were able to safely exit and nobody on the ground was injured, he said.
A spokesperson for the airport did not immediately return a request for comment on Saturday afternoon.
The small county-owned airport is about three miles south of the unincorporated area of Byron, and about six miles southeast of Brentwood. It is described on its website as a general aviation facility that hosts “skydivers, gliders and other recreational flight activities.”
