The Associated Press reports that Hillary Clinton narrowly escaped injury when the small plane that she was flying was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Texas because of bad weather.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination that pilot error contributed to the accident, and that the she was flying in IFR conditions while only having obtained a VFR, single engine land rating. The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured. Pictures taken at the scene show the extent of damage to Senator Clinton's aircraft.
