A plane has crashed into an airport hangar during a mechanical test in Chino, California. Three workers were onboard but were not injured.


A small passenger jet with three people on board has struck a hangar while taxiing at an airport in California.

Authorities in Chino said nobody was hurt in the incident, which is under investigation.

A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said the pilot apparently lost control during an engine test at the Encore Jet Centre.

Local media reported that mechanics were checking the engine and that the plane's tyres were on chocks.

For an unknown reason, the jet came off the chocks, and it crashed into a hangar.

Firefighters shut off electricity because of a concern of leaking fuel, but no leak was confirmed.

Four adjacent hangars and businesses within those hangars were evacuated.
