Multiple dead as a small private plane crashes into US' California neighbourhood
A private plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood in the US state of California on Thursday early morning, leaving multiple people on board dead, media reports said.
During a news briefing, Assistant Fire Department Chief Dan Eddy said they will be investigating whether the plane hit a power line.
However, no one on the ground was injured in the crash.
San Diego police and fire officials said the plane could hold eight to 10 people, but they do not have the exact number of people on board.
“When it hit the street, as the jet fuel went down, it took out every single car that was on both sides of the street,” Eddy said. “You can see that every single car was burning down both sides of the street.”
The flight was reportedly coming in from the Midwest.
The flight tracking site Flight Aware lists a Cessna Citation II jet that was scheduled to arrive at the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive airport in San Diego at 3:47 a.m. from the small Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, Kansas.
