Plane falls from the sky onto a Texas highway — what witnesses saw

A private jet flying from Cabo to Austin crashed onto Laredo's Loop 20 late Tuesday night, splitting into three pieces and killing one of the six people on board. Pilots had reported mechanical issues to Laredo's airport just minutes before going down — and the wreckage landed on one of the city's busiest highways. What happened next is something Laredo won't forget. Bystanders grabbed shovels and sledgehammers to pry passengers out of the burning wreckage — before first responders even arrived. Laredo resident Brandon Chavez described seeing the plane smoking, light poles bent in half, and debris that looked like it had been "shredded off." The mayor called it a miracle it wasn't a mass casualty event. Watch the full story on ksat.com #LaredoTexas #PlaneCrash #BreakingNews #Texas #NetJets
