POOLVILLE, Texas — Three people were killed in a plane crash on Sunday afternoon near Poolville, Texas, in Parker County, officials confirmed.
According to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), three people — including the plane’s pilot — were on board a Cessna C310 aircraft that was traveling from Carrizo Springs, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border to Bridgeport in Wise County when it crashed near Poolville at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
According to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, all three people on board the plane died in the crash.
After receiving reports of the downed airplane near Poolville, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, LifeCare Ambulance and local fire departments all responded to the scene.
According to preliminary information from the NTSB, the plane’s wreckage was found 10 miles southwest of the Bridgeport Municipal Airport that was intended as its destination.
An investigator with the NTSB is expected to arrive at the wreckage location to document the scene and examine the aircraft to help determine the cause of the crash, the agency said.
Sunday’s fatal crash is the latest in a string of incidents involving small planes across North Texas in recent months.
In early November, a small plane crashed into a car after skidding off the runway while making an emergency landing at an airport in McKinney. In late November, an 87-year-old pilot died as he crashed a small plane in Plano after being unable to locate a small airport’s runway. In mid-December, a pilot made an emergency landing in the middle of Highway 80 near the Mesquite Metro Airport in Forney. In late December, a pilot died after crashing his plane into the side of a house near an aviation community in Van Zandt County.
