Groveland, CA — The two victims from Friday night’s deadly plane crash have been identified by the Sheriff’s Office.
The pilot was 70-year-old Albert Halluwin of Palo Alto. The passenger was his 60-year-old fiance Judy Perchonock also from the Bay Area.
Sgt. Jeff Wilson with the Sheriff’s Office says it appears the pilot made an initial approach to land but had trouble due to the fog and rain. The plane circled around and reportedly came in contact with a tree, which may have caused damage to the plane, leading to the crash.
The F.A.A. and N.T.S.B. investigation is ongoing.
