Four people were onboard in the arriving jet. They were coming from Austin and Texas. Another person was present inside the parked plane at the time of the accident.
The video of the collision was shared by US media outlet, BNO News on X.
The runway was temporarily shut down due to the accident, and all services will remain closed until the rescue team clears the accident site.
Fire Department officials reached the spot to rescue the people in the accident. Officials sent severely injured passengers to hospital for treatment. One person's dead body was recovered from the accident site, and family members were informed.
