A small plane crashed into the water in Huntington Beach Friday afternoon just a few feet past the surf in front of beachgoers.
Video of the incident posted online shows the plane at about 1:30 p.m. pulling a banner behind it and then quickly descending until it splashes into the water a few yards from the sand.
The crash occurred just south of Beach Boulevard, Jennifer Carey, a spokesperson for Huntington Beach said.
Only the pilot was onboard when the plane crashed, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The plane was a small, single-engine Piper Cub.
The condition of the pilot was not immediately known, but Carey said no injuries have been reported.
The investigation of the is being overseen by the California Department of Parks and Recreation because the crash occurred in their jurisdiction, Carey said.
Huntington Beach police and fire personnel were on scene and closed off the area near the crash site, she said. The rest of the beach, however, remains open to the public.
