Six people killed in twin-engine plane crash near San Antonio, authorities say.
Jeffrey C. Weiss, 65, was a senior vice president for investments at Raymond James and Associates in Houston. The Texas Department of Public Safety said Weiss, who co-owned the Beechcraft BE58, was at the controls when the aircraft went down just before 9 a.m. Monday while approaching Kerrville Municipal Airport, about 70 miles northwest of San Antonio.
The aircraft had taken from an airport outside Houston earlier Monday and crashed about 6 miles northwest of Kerrville Municipal Airport, Lunsford said. The flight was not a scheduled commercial route, he said. "We flew people from all over the country to Dallas and Houston" for medical treatment, he told The Associated Press.
The plane flew southward into the wind, Simmons said, then"banked to the right, real hard, and just flipped on over, upside down, and nose-dived to the ground."
