A private plane crashed late Tuesday onto a highway in Laredo, Texas, killing one of the six people on board and sending the others to the hospital, police said.

The Laredo Police Department did not immediately release details about the person who was killed, saying they were waiting until the person's family was notified.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones affected by the recent private jet crash," Mayor Victor Trevino said in a statement.
