Photos show the smokey aftermath of a small aircraft crashing on the Grand Parkway at Cypress Rosehill. The northbound lanes are shut down as crews work to clear the scene.
A small plane downed on the roadway in northwest Harris County on Sunday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.Investigators said the crash happened at about 11:15 a.m. on the Grand Parkway at Cypress Rosehill.DPS said the plane lost power and when the pilot approached the roadway he saw fit to try to set the plane down on the road.
The pilot, who was not injured, reportedly advised he made contact with the top of an 18-wheeler before he could land the plane on the ground. The bonanza 35 single-engine aircraft's wings caught the concrete barrier, causing the plane to catch on fire, according to DPS.Photos from drivers showed the plane with its nose down next to the median with light smoke filling the air.
HCSO said Hazmat is responding to the scene. The northbound lanes are shut down temporarily while crews work to clear the scene. It is unclear what led to the crash and details on the crash are still limited. ABC13 has real-time traffic data to help you navigate Houston's roads and avoid traffic delays.
