I heard there was a King Air crash at Carlsbad, Calif (CRQ) on Tuesday. Anyone have any info on that?

The Associated Press reports the turboprop, registerted to Southwest Consulting Group in San Diego, was en route to Tucson, AZ. The aircraft impacted a golf course, less than a mile east of the airport. Heavy fog was reported in the area.
"There was zero visibility," said a Fire Department dispatcher who declined to give his name. "We've located no survivors."
The identities of the victims have not been reported. FAA records show a 1973 Beech E90 (similar to type shown below), N47LC, registered to Southwest Consulting Group.
Online flight tracking site flightaware.com does not show an IFR flight plan on file for that N-number.
Original Report

1130 EDT: At least two people are dead after a small aircraft, type unknown but reported to be a jet, went down near McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, CA early Tuesday morning.

Details of the accident are sketchy, with some media outlets reporting as many as four onboard were lost when the aircraft crashed in dense fog near the Southern California airport at approximately 0600 PDT.
The aircraft impacted power lines, knocking out electricity in the area, according to KGTV-10 in San Diego.
Stan Wasowski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the San Diego Union-Tribune visibility in the area was 1/4 mile at the time of the accident
Not good.
