A small plane crashed in the middle of a highway in southern Texas. Crews rushed Tuesday night to pull out people from the aircraft as flames burst from the plane. Police said six people were onboard and one was killed. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known. Laredo Police Chief Miguel Rodriguez said investigators working to reconstruct the crash were at the crash site Wednesday.
The business jet barreled cockeyed down the dark highway, knocking down one light pole after another, an orange glow of sparks trailing it.
From a distance, Ivan Franco thought it must be a car. But as he approached in his tow truck, he saw it was a plane — broken in.
