A Cirrus SR22T airplane crashed during takeoff from the San Luis Obispo County Airport on Friday morning leading to a temporary halt of operations.
Early Friday morning, a pilot flew the single-engine, four-seat plane from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. The pilot then attempted to take off shortly after 9 a.m., lost control, the landing gear collapsed and the engine caught fire.
Both the pilot and their passenger declined medical attention.
Firefighters put out the blaze while hazmat crews cleaned up a fuel spill.
