HOUSTON - A plane crash in southeast Montgomery County killed a couple Thursday afternoon.
Daniel Boyd Williams, 59, and Rheta Lynn Williams, 58, were flying a twin-engine, four seater, beechcraft baron plane when their plane crashed into a field on Holly street near Moss. They were attempting to land at Williams Airfield, a tiny air strip nestled between several houses in rural southeastern Montgomery County.
Witnesses said the plane was about 50 feet off the ground when it climbed and then banked sharply to the left and then crashed through the trees.
The wreckage narrowly missed a house, coming to rest about 50 feet from the back door. No body inside the home was injured, but the Williams were killed upon impact.
Investigators said the couple was flying in to see their daughter, who was scheduled to pick them up from the airfield. The daughter hadn't yet arrived when her parents' plane had crashed, but she has been informed of their deaths.
The accident is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation and Safety Board.
