A business jet with six people on board crashed on a highway in Laredo, Texas, and caught fire on Tuesday night, killing one person and causing chaos as people left their vehicles to frantically try to smash the cockpit window and free those inside.
Drivers who came upon the burning plane captured dramatic rescue scenes on video or rushed toward the aircraft on foot to help. The plane was a Cessna Citation Latitude twin jet and departed from Los Cabos International Airport in Mexico at 6:19 p.m. It's not clear what caused the crash as it reached Laredo, about 140 miles southwest of San Antonio.
The tail was ripped from the fuselage and laying mostly intact on a lower-level road beneath where the rescue was taking place. Rescuers can be heard calling for a rope as others use rods to hold up the plane door. Several times, officers helping prop open the door dart away from the plane and double over in coughing fits because of the intense smoke
