NTSB summary
On February 15, 2026, about 1805 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 210B, N9735X, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Camarillo, California. The pilot was fatally injured and the passenger sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. A review of FAA ADS-B data revealed that the pilot departed Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas, Nevada at 1623. The airplane flew southwest and maintained an altitude of about 8,500 ft mean sea level (msl). While approaching Camarillo, California, the pilot declared an emergency with air traffic control and requested to land at Camarillo Airport (CMA), Camarillo, California after he lost engine power. According to the flight track, the airplane then turned direct to CMA as the airplane began to descend. No further communications were received by the pilot. The airplane impacted a large tree and a fence before it came to rest on a water canal access gravel road in a residential neighborhood about 2-1/4 mile from the approach end of runway 26 at CMA. The accident site was at an elevation of 133 ft msl and on a magnetic heading of 58° from the approach end of runway 26. The debris field was about 1,190 ft long and on a directional heading of about 178°. The right outboard wing separated and was located in the impacted tree. The right wing strut was the furthest in the debris field and was found in the bottom of the canal. During the recovery of the wreckage, the left wing was removed from the fuselage and about 20 gallons of fuel
