By Associated Press
A small plane crashed in Texas, killing all five people aboard, a county official said on Friday.
The crash happened Thursday night in Wimberley, a city about 40 miles (64 kilometres) southwest of Austin, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said in a Facebook post.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna 421C crashed around 11:25 p.m. with five people on board. It said the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. Becerra said preliminary information indicates the plane was travelling at a high rate of speed when it crashed.
He did not release the names of the victims, pending notification of the family. He said a second aircraft travelling in the area landed safely near San Antonio.
