A small plane carrying six people crashed into the ocean off the coast of San Diego Sunday shortly after taking off, killing everyone on board, authorities said.

The twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, not long after taking off, about three miles west of Point Loma. While the FAA confirmed all six people on the plane were killed in the crash, authorities have not yet identified them.
