In the stillness of night, a quiet, tree-lined street in a San Diego neighborhood was plunged into chaos when a plane clipped a power line and crashed – turning cars into fireballs and sending residents fleeing in a haze of smoke and confusion.

A small private plane has crashed in a San Diego neighborhood, sparking fires in at least 15 homes, authorities said.

The six people killed when a plane crashed into a San Diego military housing community were being mourned and identified Saturday, as federal investigators continue probing the cause of the crash.

The crash drew a large police and fire response with first responders going house-to-house to check on residents. Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the plane to crash.

The San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport was scheduled to reopen at 5 p.m. Friday night after a plane crash and fire closed the runway for nearly 8 hours. The announcement came in a news release Friday afternoon.
