A tragic plane crash in Simi Valley resulted in the deaths of a father and son, Paul and Matthew Berkovitz. Identified by the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office, they suffered multiple blunt force injuries. Their dog was also killed in the crash. The Berkovitz family expressed gratitude to first responders and emphasized their love for aviation, requesting privacy during this difficult time. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident, which occurred as the small plane was heading towards Camarillo, having turned over a residential area, displacing nearby families.
The plane had taken off from Lancaster and was headed toward Camarillo, authorities said. The plane's flight path showed that when it reached the Wood Ranch neighborhood, it took a turn, crashing near several homes.
As we mourn this tremendous loss, we ask, respectfully, that the media and public allow our family to grieve privately. We are awaiting the results of the NTSB investigation that is underway to determine the cause of this tragedy.
