Three Off-Duty Dallas Officers Hurt in Forney Plane Crash

Authorities opened a multi-agency probe into the late-night crash.

Overview

  • Police said a single-engine plane went down in a field near Sage Hill Parkway and Helms Trail in Forney early Saturday, and all three people on board survived.
  • Dallas Police confirmed the occupants were three off-duty officers, and all were taken to a hospital after the crash.
  • First responders from Forney police and fire reached the scene shortly after 12 a.m., where the aircraft was found overturned.
  • Forney Police are working with the FAA and Texas Department of Public Safety to determine what happened, and officials have not released a cause.
  • Investigators typically review pilot accounts, aircraft records, and weather in small-plane crashes, so further details are likely after the initial fact-gathering phase.
