Two people were killed and 18 injured when a small plane crashed into the roof of a furniture factory in Southern California where at least 200 people worked.

The plane crashed less than two minutes after taking off from Fullerton Municipal Airport in Orange County.

And a Fullerton police spokesman said it was not yet known whether the people who died were on the plane or on the ground.

CCTV footage showed the plane tilted on its side as it flew towards the building, causing an explosion and a plume of black smoke.

Of the injured, 10 were taken to hospital, while eight were treated and released at the scene.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was a single-engine RV-10 van, a four-seat plane.

Another four-seat plane crashed into a tree half a mile from the airport last November while making an emergency landing just after takeoff.

Both people on board suffered minor injuries.
