“Multiple deaths” after the plane crash in San Diego district

It is believed that several people died after a small plane crashed into a residential street in San Diego on Thursday morning.

No residents were seriously injured, but there was “more than one death” among passengers on board, said the deputy fire chief Dan Eddy.

Several houses were destroyed and cars catch fire after the private aircraft in the residential area of ​​the city of Murphy Canyon crashed in the city. Around 100 people were evacuated from nearby areas, the police said.

The small plane was a Cessna 550 plane, said the Federal Aviation Administration, which can wear eight to ten people, including the pilot.

The authorities have not announced the identities of the passengers on board.

In a press conference, Dan Eddy, deputy fire chief Dan Eddy, said that it was “Jet Trustoff everywhere”, and the main goal was to search all houses and bring people to safety.

He confirmed that there was a “direct hit in several houses”. It is believed that nobody in these houses is seriously injured.

The San Diego police said on social media that a person had been hospitalized and two were treated and released. They added that the area should be closed all day.

The film material from the scene shows the charred cars that are covered across the street.

The inhabitant Christopher Moore told the Associated Press that he and his wife were woken up by a loud bang in the early morning.

Mr. Moore said they looked out the window and saw smoke, and the couple grabbed their two little children and fled.

Once on the street, they saw how a car was devoured in flames.

“It was definitely terrible, but sometimes they just have to drop their heads and come to safety,” said Moore.

A navy who lives near the crash site told Fox News that he heard a “strange whistling gaspage sound”, followed by a “boom and a shake in the house”.

The plane seemed to go to Montgomery Field, an airport 10 km north of the downtown San Diego.
