Multiple people have died after a business jet slammed into homes in a San Diego military housing community just before 4 a.m. Thursday, spilling jet fuel down the street that ignited several cars, authorities said.

The 3:45 a.m. crash wreaked havoc across several blocks of federal housing, leaving smashed cars and a trail of jet fuel burning in the street. More than 10 houses were badly damaged from debris, sending shocked families running from the smoke and flames.
