Emergency crews are responding after a small plane crashed into a home in Fort Bend County Monday morning.<\/p>\n

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, a Piper J3C-65 crashed into a house in Fulshear around 6:45 a.m. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The FAA was not providing air traffic control services,” the FAA posted to X around noon on Monday. “Only the pilot was on board.”<\/p>\n

A photo shared by the Fulshear-Simonton Fire Department appears to show the yellow aircraft lodged against the roof of a home from the backyard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Today FSFD, Community (Fire Department), and Fort Bend HAZMAT are on scene of a plane into a house near the Covey Trails Airstrip,” the agency posted to Facebook. “Also on scene are DPS, Fort Bend (Sheriff’s Office), and (Pct. 1) Constables office.”<\/p>\n

The Texas Department of Public Safety told ABC 13<\/a> the pilot was transported to Memorial Hermann Katy with minor injuries. It remains unclear whether the home was occupied at the time of the crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials told the Houston Chronicle<\/a> the property was located on Kitty Hawk Street south of the Westpark Tollway in Richmond, but that is was part of Fulshear’s emergency services district.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chron has reached out to DPS for more information. Authorities have not publicly identified the pilot, and it remains unclear how much damage the home sustained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emergency crews are responding after a small plane crashed into a home in Fort Bend County Monday morning.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1836,1704,56,58,57],"class_list":["post-379907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-chronnews","tag-chronstaff","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
