February 19, 2010 (El Cajon) -- A single engine Cessna made a crash landing on Johnson Avenue just north of Fletcher Parkway in El Cajon Friday evening shortly after 7 p.m. The two men onboard were able to crawl from the wreckage just before the plane burst into flames. Fire crews from Heartland Fire & Rescue in El Cajon quickly arrived on scene and had the fire out in less than five minutes.
The pilot and his passenger reportedly suffered minor injuries and were transported to Grossmont Hospital. Johnson Avenue was closed between Fletcher Parkway and Vernon Way to clear the wreckage and clean up the fuel spill. The plane also clipped a power pole, causing a power outage until SDG&E crews repaired the damage.
There were no other injuries involved. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be investigating the cause of the crash.
