Aircraft Crashes Into Georgetown Duplex Roof, Leaving Three People Injured

On Sunday, an airplane crashed onto the roof of an empty house in Georgetown, Texas, injuring three people. An investigation is underway. Georgetown is around 30 miles north of Austin.

According to the Georgetown Fire Department, the incident happened just before noon in the 500 block of North Wood Drive, near Georgetown Executive Airport.

The three passengers on the plane were sent to a hospital for treatment. According to the agency, the house is a duplex with no occupants. The plane wreckage was still on the roof as of Monday morning. According to the fire department, the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the collision.

According to GFD officers, the duplex was vacant, and no one was residing there. The Federal Aviation Administration verified that the jet was a single-engine Beech BE35 and that the National Transportation Safety Board would head the inquiry.

GFD officials said the three people on the plane were brought to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and released later that day. According to officials, the passengers were returning from breakfast in Kerrville when the plane began to experience engine trouble.

However, the plane's flight history shows that it took off from Georgetown's airport at 9:26 a.m. and landed at Gillespie County Airport at 9:57 a.m. before returning to Georgetown at 11:26 a.m. According to the Gillespie County Airport manager, they stopped for a "quick" lunch and did not refuel before taking off.

"Just veered away from the apartment complex behind you, and I believe he had to make that split-second decision and ditch it into a single home instead," said City of Georgetown Battalion Chief Scott Gibson.

KXAN spoke with a witness who walked into the house to assist with extracting the people¡ªa guy and two women¡ªfrom the wreckage.

"They were in really good condition considering what happened," said Dylan King, a neighbouring resident who hurried to the scene to assist. "They were terrified; they had no idea what was happening." They appeared befuddled. We had assisted them in descending from the balcony, and they attempted to jump through a hole in the roof. They descended as we opened the attic stairs, and they got down that way."

Breale Morton, King's sister-in-law, said the passengers appeared to have minor injuries.

"They were limp," remarked Morton. "But, aside from a few gashes and burnt feet from walking up on the roof, they were in pretty good shape." According to GFD officials, the house is not in horrible shape.

"It is only slightly affected." "The fuel that has dripped from the attic to the first to the second floor is probably the biggest concern," Gibson added. "We've eliminated the majority of the available ignition sources." We've turned off the power to the residence."

Georgetown Executive Airport officials, where the plane was expected to land, had no comment on the crash. According to the FAA, a preliminary crash report will be completed within 24 hours and released on its website. GFD officials said they would return to the location with the FAA and NTSB on Monday to assess the damage and attempt to remove the plane.
