Plane Crashes into Vacant TX House

July 24, 2023
Georgetown firefighters said the three people on board suffered minor injuries.

Of all the houses and condos in the immediate area, the one a plane hit Sunday was vacant.

The three people aboard the plane suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to KXAN.

Dylan King, a neighbor who ran to help explained to reporters: “They were in really good condition considering what happened. They were scared, they didn’t know what was going on. They looked really confused. We had helped them down off the balcony and they were trying to jump through a hole in the roof. We opened the attic stairs and they got down that way.”

Georgetown Battalion Chief Scott Gibson said: “It is fairly minimally impacted. Probably the biggest concern is gonna be the fuel that has dripped from the the attic to the first to the second floor. We’ve eliminated most of ignition sources that are around. We’ve cut the power to the house.”

The NTSB is investigating.
