A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says the plane crashed at 1:12pm Thursday into a vehicle parked outside an Ace Hardware store in the 6800 block of Telephone. No one was inside the parked car, but all three people aboard the plane died immediately. The National Transportation Safety Board investigator described what the plane was doing seconds before crashing yesterday near Hobby Airport.

“It showed that the aircraft was relatively nose level and relatively wings level spinning counter clockwise to the left at the moment of impact,” NTSB Investigator Tom Latson said.

The NTSB said the Cirrus SR-20 plane, a fixed wing single-engine aircraft, was en route to Hobby Airport. Gray was trying to land but the plane was too high, so the air traffic controller told them to go around the towers and try again. The air traffic controller also warned about wake turbulence from a nearby 737. During a second attempt, the spokesman said the plane nose-dived into the ground.
