One Dead After Small Plane Strikes Another, Catches Fire

One person was killed and another was injured when a small plane that was taking off collided with a parked one and burst into flames at a suburban Houston airport Monday, authorities said. The moving plane, which was carrying an instructor and a student, struck the unoccupied aircraft at about 10 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) at Southwest Regional Airport in Arcola, Texas, according to Erik Burse, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. The instructor died at the scene, and the student was flown by air-ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Burse told NBC News.
