Teenage girl climbs airport fence, steals plane and then crashes it
A teenage girl is alleged to have climbed the fence of Fresno Yosemite International Airport in California, United States, stole a plane and then crashed it.
The 17-year-old is under arrest after a King Air 200, a small private plane, was driven into a fence at the airport on Wednesday morning.
Fresno police arrived and talked with the girl, who was seated inside the plane with the pilot’s headset on, airport Police Chief Drew Bessinger said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
The plane never took off and had some minor damage.
According to CNN, the girl’s motive is unknown, but there’s no reason to think it was related to domestic terrorism, Bessinger said.
