Plane crashes in California neighborhood near high school, at least 2 dead

At least two fatalities, likely more, according to fire department

By Bradford Betz , Louis Casiano | Fox News

A small plane crashed in a residential neighborhood of San Diego County Monday afternoon, damaging some homes, authorities said. In a news conference after the crash, a fireman confirmed that at least two people died in the crash.

"We know there is at least two," a Santee fire official said. "It's a pretty brutal scene."

Authorities said two people have died and two more have been taken to the hospital for burn injuries. The Santee Fire Department said the injuries of the people on the plane are likely "non-survivable."

We lived near there back in the 70s - 90s. My sisters went to the nearby high school.

They were talking to the neighbors about the UPS driver who died. So sad, he was known by many in the neighborhood, one called him Santa. Six months or so from retirement, he would bring treats for their dogs. Speaking of which, the husband/wife who escaped from their house lost their dog to the fire.
