HOUSTON - A small JSX plane at Hobby Airport experienced a landing gear collapse on Friday.

According to officials, the landing gear touched down on Runway 4 of the airport before the collapse happened. The plane eventually stopped near the area where the planes park but went off the roadway into a ditch.

There were 31 people on board and all got off the aircraft safely, but one crew member was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
