At least two people - including a UPS driver - were killed Monday when a small plane crashed into homes in a residential neighborhood of Santee in East San Diego County, according to authorities. Two other people were also injured, officials confirmed.

The aircraft went down at the corner of Jeremy and Greencastle streets about 12:15 p.m., according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Aerial footage from Chopper 8 showed two homes extensively damaged by fire. Large plumes of black smoke were also seen in the area.

Santee Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Justin Matsushita confirmed Monday afternoon that there were “at least two fatalities” and two other people were transported to local hospitals. The injured parties were conscious when transported but the extent of their injuries was unknown.

Matsushita said he did not believe either of the fatalities were people inside the homes but the investigation is ongoing. He said it was unknown how many people were on the plane.

UPS issued a statement confirming that one of their employees was killed in the crash.
