Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating what caused a small plane to crash in an El Cajon neighborhood Sunday evening, leaving the pilot hospitalized. The single-engine Bellanca Viking crashed around 6:15 p.m. on Lily Avenue near Clarke Drive with only the pilot on board, an FAA spokesperson said. The crash site is about 4 miles from Gillespie Field.
The NTSB in its preliminary report said the crash came after the aircraft 'experienced engine issues.' No other details were immediately released.

She said the wrecked aircraft will be 'recovered to an offsite facility' for further examination.
