From the LA Times:
SAN DIEGO -- Four people were killed when a private jet crashed at McClellan-Palomar Airport this morning, fire officials said.
The twin-engine Cessna was landing in clear weather about 6:40 a.m. when it crashed, then flipped over and caught fire before hitting a utility structure, authorities said.
Early reports said the three passengers were killed. Later, a fourth person, the pilot, was added to the list of the dead on the flight, which took off from Idaho.
There was no immediate cause for the crash, but the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have begun their investigations.
Rescue and fire crews from the airport and the Carlsbad fire departments immediately responded, officials said. The airport is in Carlsbad, about 30 miles north of San Diego. It is used by private planes and two commuter airlines — America West Express and United Express.
The facility's tower had yet to open for the day, said Bill Polick, a spokesman for the San Diego County Department of Public Works, but that is not unusual. The airport is open 24 hours a day, but is staffed with controllers only during the busy hours.
The aircraft was registered to Goship Air LLC of Ketchum, Idaho, authorities said. The dead were not immediately publicly identified.
