A plane burst into flames after it reportedly crashed into a power line, leaving no survivors on board.
The incident involving a Learjet 35 aircraft happened in the El Cajon area of San Diego, California, just after 7 PM local time on Monday, December 27.
It is unclear how many people were on board the plane but no injuries were reported by nearby residents, per NBC News.
In a statement, San Diego Sheriff's Office said: "We offer our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of those we lost in a plane crash in unincorporated El Cajon."
When they arrived, firefighters were not able to locate any survivors, the department said.
"At this time, we do not have information on where the plane was coming from or how many were on board," San Diego County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
Several power lines were downed and crews are on the scene trying to restore electricity to 70 customers in the area, according to cops.
At least one home and a vehicle were damaged by some debris, KGTV reports.
Footage from the scene appeared to show a trail of flames in a neighborhood. Resident Lauren Watling said all she could see was "fire and smoke".
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board have been working to process the scene as they investigate the incident, it said.
She told NBC7: "We were outside and basically, we heard the plane getting closer.
"Normally they get loud because we live right by the airport, but it got really, really loud and all of the sudden, we think it could’ve hit our power lines above our house, but we just saw bright blue and orange flashing lights and we heard the electricity running.
"And then after that, we heard the plane actually crash. We ran out immediately and there was a ton of smoke everywhere."
The crash comes more than two months after a plane crashed in a Santee neighborhood, killing two people. That crash took place just miles south of Monday's crash in El Cajon.
