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.

San Diego officials said at least two people are dead after the plane crashed in a neighborhood, causing multiple residences and cars to catch fire.

A small plane crashed in dense fog in a Tierrasanta neighborhood early Thursday morning, killing at least two people on the plane and burning several cars and homes in a neighborhood of military families.
