Four people sustained injuries Wednesday afternoon when a twin-engine propeller plane crashed onto a Victoria highway and split in half, officials said.
The Piper PA-31 struck three vehicles before splitting in two at around 3 p.m. about 150 miles south of Houston.

The Federal Aviation Administration said that the pilot was the plane's only occupant. Four people sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
“This is not something we see every day, but we are glad that people seem to be OK and they’re getting checked out,” Victoria Police Deputy Chief Eline Moya said.
The intersection of Zac Lentz Parkway and Mockingbird Lane was temporarily closed as police investigated the crash.
