Six people died after a plane crashed into a Southern California field early Saturday. It's the second deadly plane crash near the same airport within a week.

The business jet departed from the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at about 3:15 a.m., according to FlightAware. The Cessna C550 crashed at about 4:15 a.m. near the French Valley Airport in Murrieta, Calif., in Riverside County, between San Diego and Los Angeles, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. During a second landing attempt, the aircraft crashed short of the airport, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
