GALVESTON, Texas — Several agencies rushed to the scene in Galveston Monday afternoon after a medical transport plane from Mexico crashed into the bay.

On a sparkling late-fall Sunday at a rural Virginia airfield, 16 careworn passengers were getting off a flight that changed, even saved, their lives. Some looked bemused, some wary, some enthusiastic as they were carried off a small private plane onto the tarmac at Culpeper Regional Airport.

Galveston police have confirmed a small airplane carrying six passengers crashed Monday afternoon into the water near Galveston Bay. The crash occurred around 3:15 p.m. west of the Galveston causeway, according to a Galveston Police Department spokesperson.
