Aircraft crash by Simi Valley: Paul Berkovitz and Matthew Berkovitz – father and son – identified as a victim in a fatal aircraft collision

Simi Valley, California (KABC) – A father and a son were identified when the two people were killed at the weekend when a small plane crashed in a quarter of Simi Valley.

According to Ventura County's medical examiner, the victims were identified positively as 69-year-old Paul Berkovitz from Westlake Village and 36-year-old Matthew J. Berkovitz of Thousand Oaks.

The two died of “violent violations of violence,” said the medical examiner's office. It is unclear who the plane flew.

The family's dog, Brody, was also killed.

The crash occurred on Saturday afternoon in the 200 block of the High Meadow Street in the Wood Ranch.

A small plane crashed in a quarter of Simi Valley and caused a fire on Saturday afternoon. The police confirmed that there were two people and a dog on board.

The plane had lost the plane and was on the way to Camarillo, the authorities said.

The aircraft's flight route showed that it took a curve when he plunged the Wood Ranch district near several houses.

No residents were injured.

In the meantime, two families have been expelled from their houses for the foreseeable future.

The NTSB said it removed the small pieces of the aircraft that were scattered around the home owner's courtyard.

“We will deal with the occupants on board, the pilot, the machine, the aircraft cell itself, the aircraft, the RV-10, and the environment”, NTSB Air Safety Investigators Michael Hicks at the weekend.

The full examination of the crash could take up to 18 months.
