LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A single-engine Cessna crashed upside down in the Sepulveda Basin early Thursday morning, authorities said.

The crash was reported around 7:10 a.m. in the 15300 block of West Burbank Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

According to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilot reported engine trouble shortly after leaving the airport.

The two people on board the aircraft, a man and a woman, were removed from the plane before fire crews arrived on the scene. Firefighters said they did not appear to have life-threatening injuries.

“Fortunately, there was no fire and there was no need to evacuate the patients from that aircraft,” LAFD Capt. Erik Scott said. “They had some minor injuries, we had paramedics who provided a quick assessment, offered transport to a hospital, which they refused.”

“We’re very fortunate that these two patients were able to pull it off,” he added.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
