A dual-engine airplane crashed at about 10 a.m. the morning of Oct. 19 at the Houston Executive Airport at 1900 Cardiff Road, near Brookshire, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety press release.

“Eighteen passengers and three crew members were on the plane and exited the plane without help from emergency responders,” the press release said. “Two passengers were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital-Katy for non-life-threatening injuries.”
