Two people were killed April 5 when the small plane they were flying in crashed near a Central Texas airport, officials said.
Those aboard the single-engine Cessna TU206H were a man and a woman, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. No identities were immediately available, DPS Sgt. Ryan Howard said.
The six-seat aircraft was en route from Houston Executive Airport to Waco Regional Airport when it went down just before 1 p.m. near Marlin Airport, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) short of its destination, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
The aircraft crashed about 70 yards (65 meters) from the end of the airport’s lone runway, said Marlin City Manager Cedric Davis.
No cause was immediately determined. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
Marlin is about 110 miles (180 kilometers) south of Dallas.
