Description
A small aircraft crashed in an El Cajon neighborhood Sunday night just after 6 p.m., Heartland Fire confirmed. The crash happened near Lily Avenue and Clarke Drive. The plane came down on the street. It hit power lines, but avoided hitting any homes or vehicles. According to flightaware.com, the plane took off from Gillespie Field at 5:52 p.m. It crashed at 6:17 p.m. CBS 8 obtained audio from liveatc.net between the pilot and air traffic controllers, where he told them he's run into engine trouble, he's lost oil pressure. The fixed-wing single engine plane is registered to a man out of Santee, but it's unclear if he was the one flying the plane when it went down right in front of neighbor Michelle Hilliard's house. She said she heard a loud bang. MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/pilot-injured-after-small-plane-crashes-el-cajon-neighborhood/509-228592f5-b940-48ad-9597-f60647b3c185
