A small twin-engine passenger plane crashed in the US state of Texas on Sunday, killing 10 people, officials said.
“The Dallas County Medical Examiner has confirmed 10 fatalities and no survivors,” a spokeswoman for the town of Addison, Texas told AFP.
The National Transportation Safety Board tweeted that it had dispatched a team to Addison to investigate the crash of a King Air 350 — a twin-engine turboprop passenger plane.
According to DallasNews.com, the plane crashed into the hangar at the airport.
The twin-engine Beechcraft BE-350 King Air was destroyed by flames after it crashed at 9:10 a.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.
Addison spokeswoman Mary Rosenbleeth confirmed there were no survivors on the plane. The hangar was not occupied at the time of the crash.
