According to USA Today, San Antonio Fire Chief, Charles Hood said, “The pilot of the Piper PA-24 Cherokee tried to make an emergency landing, but fell about a mile short. No commercial or residential buildings were hit, and firefighters reported no other injuries.”

According to CNN, Hood said, “The pilot wanted to make an emergency landing at San Antonio International Airport, but ended up crashing into the street. The aircraft was found on the sidewalk and street completely demolished when first responders arrived.”

According to The Daily Beast, an eyewitness said, “I thought I heard a car crash into some dumpsters. But that’s not what it was at all.” 

After the plane crash had been reported, a 20-block scan of the area was conducted to make sure that no debris remained.
