RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KTVU) -- Three people were killed and at least two people were injured when a small plane en route to San Jose crashed into two homes Monday evening in Riverside shortly after taking off, authorities said.
Authorities had originally said four people died but they said later that only three people perished during the incident and two people were hurt during the crash, which left a fiery wreckage that destroyed two homes and damaged two others, officials said. Riverside Fire Chief Michael Moore said Monday night that there were no injuries from people who may have been inside the homes, and everyone who might have been inside the residences have been accounted for.
During a press conference, Moore said a family of five from San Jose were on the plane and had traveled to Southern California to attend a cheerleading camp at Disneyland before the incident occurred.

Authorities said one person on the plane survived the crash but was rushed for medical treatment to a local hospital.
The Cessna 310 aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Riverside Municipal Airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said.
The plane was headed for Mineta San Jose International Airport when it crashed about a half-mile northeast of the Riverside airport, Gregor said.
Authorities said they were investigating to determine if weather played a factor in the crash since it had been raining in the area before the plane went down.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, Gregor said.
The plane came down into a residential neighborhood and collided with two homes, Riverside Police Lt. Charles Payne said.
