A Cessna aircraft crashes onto an El Cajon street, between two bridges separating the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 8 over Greenfield Drive, Aug. 18, 2022.
A pilot was able to get out of the wreckage of the light plane he had been flying Thursday after it crashed onto a city street in eastern San Diego County. The single-engine Cessna 195 went down shortly after 10:30 a.m. between two bridges separating the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 8 over Greenfield Drive in El Cajon, Heartland Fire & Rescue spokesman Andy McKellar said.
When it hit the street, the aircraft grazed an SUV, leaving it with minimal damage, McKellar said. The plane, however, wound up"pretty well banged up," with its nose bent around to the extent that the propeller was essentially facing backward, he said.
