Citation skids off runway, 4 Die
« on: January 24, 2006, 12:18:28 PM »
CARLSBAD, Calif. - A corporate jet skidded off an airport runway and crashed Tuesday morning, bursting into flames, officials said. Four people were killed, the FAA confirmed.

The Cessna 560 twin-engine jet was coming in from Sun Valley, Idaho, the FAA reported.

The jet skidded off the west end of the runway of McClellan-Palomar Airport at around 6:40 a.m., Bill Polick, spokesman for the San Diego County Department of Public Works, said. Television footage showed flames billowing from the aircraft, which appeared to have hit a building.


Crews from the airport and Carlsbad fire departments were on scene, he said.

The airport 30 miles north of San Diego serves private planes, business jets and two commuter airlines, America West Express and United Express, both of which operate turboprops there, Polick said.
