Several people have died, including the co-founder of a music agency, after a small aircraft crashed in a neighborhood in San Diego early on Thursday morning, clipping one home and damaging several vehicles.
Sound Talent Group, which has represented artists such as Sum 41 and Vanessa Carlton, confirmed on Thursday that three of its employees died on the private plane. Among those who died was the agency’s co-founder Dave Shapiro, who was listed as the owner of the plane and has a pilot’s license, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Six people were onboard the plane, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, but the total number of deaths is unknown.
Several people on the ground were injured as they tried to flee, including five people from a family who were treated for smoke inhalation and another person who was injured as they attempted to climb out of a window.
