Forney Plane Crash <\/p>\n
What’s new:<\/p>\n
A newly released crash report from the Federal Aviation Administration indicates one of the off-duty officers was piloting the single-engine Bellanca Downer 14-19-3 when an engine failure occurred.<\/p>\n
The aircraft crash-landed in a field in Forney, east of Dallas, and then flipped over.<\/p>\n
Only one of the three officers suffered serious injuries, according to the report.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
The preliminary report indicates the officers were taking a personal trip, but it doesn\u2019t elaborate on the details of where they were heading.<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The crash happened shortly after midnight Saturday in the area of Sage Hill Parkway and Helms Trail in Forney. Forney police and fire personnel responded to the scene.<\/p>\n
Three people were aboard the single-engine plane when it made an emergency landing in a field. According to the Dallas Police Department, all three were off-duty officers with the force.<\/p>\n
