Description

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (TNND) — A small plane crashed into a neighborhood in San Diego Thursday morning, according to police.

The San Diego Police Department confirmed the crash happened in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood near Sculpin Street and Santo Road.

Police did not say how many people were on the plane or if any deaths occurred.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported a Cessna 550 had crashed near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in California around 3:45 a.m. local time.

San Diego Fire-Rescue Division Chief Dan Eddy told KNSD that multiple homes and cars were on fire.

"There are multiple cars engulfed, we have jet fuel all over the place. We have hazmat on scene, and we asked for more resources. We are also working with the military," Eddy said. "The main goal moving forward is to ensure all those houses are cleared and no one is inside. Then we will move in the middle where the plane crashed near the cars and search them, then search the plane."

Police urged residents to avoid the area.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria shared a local report about the crash, but has not released a statement.
