All five people onboard a plane died in a Thursday crash in the Texas Hill Country town of Wimberley, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said on social media.
Authorities wouldn’t be publicly identifying victims yet, Becerra said Friday morning.
“Preliminary information indicates the aircraft was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of impact,” Becerra said in the post. “Based on current findings, there is no indication of a mid-air collision. A second aircraft traveling in the vicinity landed safely in New Braunfels.”
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, the FAA and Becerra said.
As of Friday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said the crash occurred around 11:25 p.m. Thursday, while Becerra posted that emergency responders were dispatched around 11:05 p.m.
This is a developing story.
