Pilot killed in fiery plane crash steps away from Texas shopping center

A pilot died after crashing in the parking lot of a Texas shopping center on Tuesday, just meters from the front door of a popular restaurant.

The downed single-engine Mooney M20 caught fire just before 6 p.m. outside Mama’s Daughter’s Diner and Nail Addiction in the Midway Park neighborhood of Plano, a city 20 miles north of Dallas.

The plane did not land or hit anything when it crashed, but flames jumped onto a car parked nearby, Plano fire officials said. Luckily there was no one in the vehicle.

Only the pilot was on board, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed.

Air Park-Dallas Airport is less than half a mile from the crash site.

The plane had taken off from a single-runway airport shortly before the crash, sources told WFAA.

Witnesses said the plane nosed down sharply before plunging into the parking lot.
