On August 22, 2018, about 1615 Pacific daylight time, a Champion 7KCAB, N1682G, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident about 8 miles northwest of Descanso, California. The flight instructor (FI), and a pilot receiving instruction (PRI) were fatally injured. The airplane was operated by the FI as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
A review of radar data showed the airplane depart Gillespie Field Airport (SEE), San Diego/El Cajon, California and proceed in a northeasterly heading, climbing to about 3,200 ft above ground level (agl) across rising terrain.
