Small Aircraft Accident Left One Dead, Two People Injured

San Antonio, TX (7/25/2020) – A small aircraft plane crash left one person dead and two people injured on the South Side of San Antonio.

The accident happened in the 9400 block of Espada Road near Stinson Airport. According to the FAA, a Piper PA-28 plane crashed after taking off from the airport and burned on impact. According to Woody Woodward with the SAFD, the plane went down and clipped trees before crash landing. They hit the ground and the gas tanks exploded.

One person was killed.

Two others are severely burned. Witnesses poured water on the two men as first responders arrived. 

If the investigation reveals that something faulty from the plane was occurring at the time of the crash, the manufacturer of the aircraft can be held responsible if you can demonstrate the product was defective.
