N2157R HAD ITS LEFT WING MOSTLY RIPPED THROUGH AND FOLDED OVER TO THE STARBOARD SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE, THE AIRCRAFT HAD ALSO STRUCK A FORD 4 DOOR VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE ITS ROOF CRUSHED AND SLICED OPEN. THE AIRCRAFT  CRASHED INTO THE CORNER OF A HANGAR BUILDING ON THE WEST END OF THE CORONA (AJO) AIRPORT.

FIRST RESPONDERS WERE ON SCENE INCLUDING CORONA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LOCALPARAMEDICS WHO INSPECTED THE PILOT AND 1 PASSENGER FOR INJURIES.
