Plane crash in Texas kills 10

A small plane has crashed into a hangar at an airport in Texas, United States, killing all 10 people on board.

“The Dallas County Medical Examiner has confirmed 10 fatalities and no survivors,” a spokeswoman for the town of Addison told AFP news agency on Sunday.

The twin-engine plane was heading from Addison, a suburb of Dallas, to St Petersburg, Florida and was carrying two flight crew and eight passengers, said Bruce Landsberg, Vice Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

The identities of those killed were not immediately released.

NTSB investigator Jennifer Rodi said the plane – which had changed ownership recently – hit a private hangar at the airport.
