A private plane that crashed on a Texas highway on Tuesday, 16 June, claimed the life of Capital Factory founder Joshua Baer. The jet bound for Austin reportedly encountered mechanical issues en route to Laredo International Airport and attempted to reach the airfield, but crashed and subsequently caught fire.
Five other people on the jet survived, including his teenage son, according to a report from KXAN. There were six people on board, including two pilots and three teenagers, the report added. Baer was the lone fatality from the crash, according to Fox News.
