Officials said a Cessna 172 Skyhawk crashed onto the Metrolink Antelope Valley train tracks at the intersection of San Fernando Road and Osbourne Street in Pacoima shortly after departing from the Whiteman Airport around 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

Seconds before the train would slam into the small plane in front of terrified witnesses, Los Angeles Police Department officers and bystanders pulled the injured pilot out of the Cessna.

"I don’t know why the train didn’t stop. I just saw the train’s windshield was shattered," witness Rociso Duran said.

By nightfall, city workers picked up the pieces to fully clear the scene and allow for traffic to resume.
