Several people witnessed the crash and its aftermath.

“It was like 7:40, I was up and we were getting moving, and just heard a sound like a larger than usual wave, like a rogue wave that sometimes will hit,” said Gordon Crowl, a camper at South Carlsbad State Beach. “Went down to find out what was going on and saw everybody looking over the side and thought, oh, that’s unusual.”

California State Parks was managing the emergency landing and investigating the incident.

The plane left Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in Kearny Mesa headed to John Wayne Airport in Orange County.

Evonsion told FOX 5 Palomar Airport in Carlsbad said the pilot complained of engine problems. Air traffic control reportedly lost contact with the pilot before crashing roughly two miles away from the runway.

The Piper PA-28r aircraft took off from Montgomery Field in San Diego just 13 minutes prior to crashing, according to flight radar.

Carlsbad Fire tells CBS 8 that the plane made an emergency landing approximately 30 yards off the beach and once the plane floated to shore, all three passengers exited the plane safely without any injuries.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane is registered to a San Diego-based musician and flight instructor. It is unsure whether or not he was in the plane at the time of the crash.
