Plane Lands Safely in Brenham After Landing Gear Failure

Lynn Lunsford with Federal Aviation Administration says the plane on the runway has damage to its left landing gear when it collapsed and that there's also damage to the other front wheel.

The plane is a Piper PA454, a single engine turbo prop.

Lunsford say, "It's too early to say what happened that caused the plane to have problems, but the FAA sending an investigator to Washington County to conduct a thorough inquiry."
