Local reports say the two small airplanes hit the ground in different locations following the collision but that one crashed into a parked boat to cause raging fire
At least three people were killed after two small aircraft collided mid-air near a small airport just outside of McKinney Saturday evening.
The two small planes collided near a small airport in Texas, USA, yesterday shortly before 5.30pm local time when local people were getting ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
The aircraft collided near Aero Country Airport in unincorporated Collin County before crashing in a commercial area of McKinney shortly before 5:30 p.m.
Authorities did not say late Saturday whether all of the victims killed were on the planes or if any were on the ground. Their names were not released.
Since opening, Aero Country has reported two fatalities, government records show. In 1997, a pilot died of severe burns after losing control of his plane, which crashed into a line of trees. And in 1983, a passenger died of a fatal head injury after exiting the plane while the engine was still running and walking into the arc of a propeller.
