(Reuters) – All six people aboard a private jet that crashed in a San Diego neighborhood were killed, but nobody on the ground was seriously injured, an official for the National Transportation Safety Board said on Friday, a day after the fiery accident.

The twin-engine Cessna Citation on approach for landing early on Thursday at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport clipped some power lines and plowed into a military housing community known as Murphy Canyon, just west of a golf course, according to NTSB investigator Dan Baker.

The aircraft slammed into a street and immediately burst into flames that destroyed the plane and damaged nearby homes and vehicles, Baker told a news briefing.

He said nobody on the plane survived, but added no one on the ground was killed or seriously injured. Although Baker did not give any numbers, authorities have previously said six people were aboard the plane, including the pilot.

A total of eight people on the ground were treated at or near the scene for minor injuries, according to Candace Hadley, a spokesperson for San Diego Fire-Rescue, who added that a number of residents were instrumental in safely evacuating their neighbors as the fire spread.

Local news media identified two of the people aboard the plane as music industry agent Dave Shapiro, owner of the company to which the plane was registered, and musician Daniel Williams, a former drummer for the metal rock band The Devil Wears Prada.
