Pilot Dies in Plane Crash at Texas Shopping Center

The single-engine plane did not hit any buildings, but the resulting fire spread to a parked vehicle; FAA and NTSB are investigating.

A single-engine Mooney M20 plane crashed in the parking lot of a shopping center in Plano, Texas, resulting in the death of the pilot.
The crash occurred on Tuesday evening around 6:00 p.m. local time.
The plane did not collide with any buildings, and the fire from the crash spread to an unoccupied parked vehicle.
The crash site was less than half a mile from the Air Park-Dallas Airport, but it is unclear whether the plane had taken off from or was set to land at that airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the cause of the crash.
