A private business jet flying from Mexico to Austin crashed onto a motorway in Laredo, Texas, on Tuesday night, killing one person and triggering a frantic rescue as bystanders and first responders used a sledgehammer and shovel to smash the cockpit window and drag survivors from the burning aircraft.
The Texas jet crash, which happened shortly after 10 p.m. on Loop 20 near the Texas–Mexico border, left the Cessna business jet torn almost in half and resting on its side across the carriageway.
