Plane Hits Northern California House, Kills 3 Tesla Motors Workers

EAST PALO ALTO -A small plane that went down in a Northern California neighborhood, killing all three aboard, is owned by an employee of Tesla Motors Inc.

The twin-engine Cessna 310 crashed in a residential area of East Palo Alto on Wednesday morning after hitting some power lines. It had just taken off from Palo Alto Airport in heavy fog.

The plane is registered to Air Unique Inc. of Santa Clara, and California secretary of state records show that Doug Bourn owns the company. No one answered at the phone listing for the company Wednesday.
