[05-22-2025] San Diego County, CA – Two Killed, Multiple Injured After Private Jet Crashes Into Military Housing

[05-22-2025] Two Killed, Multiple Injured After Private Jet Crashes Into Military HousingTwo people were killed and several others injured when a private jet crashed into military housing in San Diego early Thursday morning, May 22, 2025.

According to authorities, the aircraft went down just before 4:00 a.m. in the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport. The crash destroyed multiple vehicles and damaged at least 10 homes, including one that caught fire.

The San Diego Police Department confirmed that two people aboard the jet died. Five members of a nearby family were hospitalized for smoke inhalation, and three others were treated for minor injuries. Another person was injured while escaping through a window.

Officials said the private jet originated from New Jersey with a stop in Kansas. It was scheduled to land in San Diego at 3:47 a.m. before crashing in foggy weather. The impact sparked several fires and scattered wreckage throughout the neighborhood.

At least 100 residents were evacuated, and a temporary shelter was set up at a nearby elementary school. The FAA and the NTSB are leading the investigation.

Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?

Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:

  • Check yourself for any injuries.
  • Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
  • Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
  • Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
  • Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You

Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
