Per NBC News: Three people had non-life-threatening injuries after the crash at about 3 p.m. in Victoria, and the fourth was taken to another facility for a higher level of care, police said. The pilot was being evaluated, Victoria police said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. The small plane landed on Mockingbird Lane and a feeder road to Zac Lentz Parkway, also known as State Highway Loop 463, in Victoria, a South Texas city about 85 miles north of Corpus Christi. “We are glad that it wasn’t worse than what it is. This is not something we see every day,” Deputy Police Chief Eline Moya told reporters. “But we are glad that people seem to be OK, and they are getting checked out.” The plane was a twin-engine Piper PA-31, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Only the pilot was on board, it said.

WATCH:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has called on West Point to investigate reports that a U.S. Military Academy official “provided false information to a left-wing reporter writing a derogatory hit piece about Pete Hegseth.” Hegseth is President Trump’s nomination for defense secretary. “Officials at the U.S. Military Academy should not be feeding lies to left-wing reporters about President Trump’s nominees,” Cotton said. “West Point needs to thoroughly investigate this egregiously bad judgement and potential violation of the Privacy Act immediately,” he added. The Arkansas senator and Pete Hegseth’s lawyer wrote letters to the U.S. Military Academy’s superintendent to express their concerns.

An incorrect statement involving Hegseth’s admission to the U.S. Military Academy was released by an employee on Dec. 10, 2024.” “Upon further review of an archived database, employees realized this statement was in error,” the rep said. “Hegseth was offered acceptance to West Point as a prospective member of the Class of 2003. The academy takes this situation seriously and apologizes for this administrative error.” Investigative nonprofit ProPublica, which bills itself as a “nonpartisan, careful and independent,” was reporting a piece on Hegseth’s links to West Point when it got the erroneous statement from the prestigious academy. The story never ran after the publication eventually received a copy of Hegseth’s admission letter. “So: No, we are not publishing a story,” ProPublica editor Jesse Eisinger posted in a lengthy thread on X Wednesday. “This is how journalism is supposed to work. Hear something. Check something. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as many times as needed. The end.” “We understand that ProPublica (the Left Wing hack group) is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999,” Hegseth wrote. “Here’s my letter of acceptance signed by West Point Superintendent, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman, US Army,” he added.

That’s actually a story, just not the one you wanted to print,” Vance said in a post on X. “The effort to tank Hegseth’s nomination is one of the most coordinated smear campaigns I’ve ever seen in DC.” West Point told the Daily Wire that the discrepancy was because of an “administrative error” but that a further review confirmed that he was accepted into West Point in 1999, but did not attend the university.
