Two people are dead after a plane crashed<\/a> near an airport in Tarrant County<\/a>, Texas, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews found the victims after the plane crashed near Hicks Airfield around 1:30 p.m. local time, a Fort Worth Fire Department spokesperson confirmed to The New York Times<\/a>. <\/a>The plane struck a parking lot where 18-wheeler trailers and campers were being stored, causing a fire, the Times reports. A nearby commercial building was also reportedly set on fire.<\/p>\n

Footage from CBS Texas<\/a> showed fire crews battling flames at the scene as thick, dark smoke rose into the air shortly after the crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought we were responding to two separate incidents,\u201d the fire department spokesperson told the Times. \u201cLater on, we realized it was all part of the same one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tarrant County Sheriff\u2019s Office told The Independent that there had been a plane crash, but provided no further details. The fire department confirmed to CBS Texas that the blaze is under control.<\/p>\n

Hicks Airfield is a private airport about 16 miles northwest of Fort Worth, Texas. It\u2019s located just off U.S. Route 287 Business, which was blocked in both directions near the site. Lois Kinman, a representative for Hicks Airfield, told the Times the plane was not based at the airport.<\/p>\n

An unnamed witness told WFAA<\/a> they were working at a nearby cafe when they heard a loud boom, and a customer ran inside asking them to call 911. When they ran outside, they saw that a plane appeared to have crashed into parked trucks.<\/p>\n

Another witness, Lauren Anderson, told the Times she saw a \u201cgiant black cloud of smoke\u201d that appeared to be 100 feet wide. Once crews responded and the smoke cleared, Anderson said it \u201ckind of looks like nothing happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was probably about a 20-, 30-minute window where it was just nonstop emergency vehicles,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people are dead after a plane crashed near an airport in Tarrant County, Texas, on Sunday.
