SANTA ROSA VALLEY, Calif. (AP) Fire officials say a father and son have died after the small plane they were in crashed in Southern California.

The Ventura County Star reports that the victims, both from Calabasas, were a 57-year-old man and his 15-year-old son. They were pronounced dead at the scene. There were no other occupants on the plane.
