A small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood early Thursday morning, causing damage to homes and cars. The crash occurred in the residential community near Sculpin Street and Santo Road, close to the 15 Freeway.

Dense fog had rolled into the area around the time the plane was approaching the airport. Visibility was at half a mile at 3:55 a.m. and had dropped to a quarter of a mile just after 4 a.m. in the area around Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, which is just a few miles north of the crash site, according to the National Weather Service.
