A Cessna 550 crashed in a Murphy Canyon neighborhood in dense fog, killing at least two people onboard and igniting several cars and homes. The crash occurred near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport at 3:45 a.m., according to the FAA, with authorities initially uncertain of how many were on board. Despite the tragic fatalities, no serious injuries were reported among residents, although some were treated for minor injuries. First responders faced a chaotic scene with burning cars and homes, leading to emergency evacuations.
From what we found so far on scene, we do believe we have multiple fatalities, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Assistant Chief Dan Eddy said during a news conference.
You can see that every single car was burning down both sides of the street. San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl described the scene as pretty horrific to see.
Authorities described the chaotic scene where first responders performed heroic efforts to evacuate residents and put the fires out.
No one on the ground was seriously injured, although officials later reported that one person from an evacuation site was taken to the hospital.
