Four Killed in US Plane Crash

Washington: Four people, including two children, were killed in a plane crash on Sunday in Navasota, a city southeast of College Station in the US state of Texas.

The plane, a single-engine Cirrus SR-20 with four seats, crashed before 10 a.m. local time as it was preparing to land at the city airport. The plane, which is registered to Air Akhtar, a Houston heating and air conditioning company, departed from the David Wayne Hooks Airport in Houston. It was later found by a pilot flying near the Navasota airport, and all four passengers were confirmed dead. Police have confirmed the accident by saying it was a hard crash and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has begun investigating the cause of the accident.
