On the morning of May 22, a small private plane crashed in the San Diego neighborhood of Murphy Canyon at 3:45 am local time, killing at least two people and injuring several others. The impact sparked car fires, destroyed one home, and damaged at least 10 others, prompting the evacuation of nearly 100 residents.
The plane was carrying six people, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. While officials have yet to release an official death toll or identify the victims, authorities continue to search the scene and recover remains.
Early reports suggest the cause may be poor visibility from dense fog and that likely the jet struck a power line before going down.
