Rainbow

A pilot was killed Sunday night when his single-engine plane crashed on Old Highway 395 outside this small unincorporated town north of Fallbrook, authorities reported.

A San Diego County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman said the pilot, whose name was not available late Sunday, apparently was attempting to make an emergency landing on the road in rainy weather and poor visibility. There were no passengers in the plane and no fire in the crash, a quarter-mile north of Rainbow Valley Boulevard, the spokeswoman said.
