I just noticed this on the local news feed.

A plane came to rest in the desert near the Fabens Airport following a crash landing Sunday. (Victor Calzada / El Paso Times)Engine failure may have caused a small airplane to crash in Fabens on Sunday morning, injuring its two occupants, according to Deputy Angie Becerra, spokeswoman for the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
A witness said the plane took off from the Fabens Airport, veered left and then crashed into the desert, Becerra said.
The crash happened at 11:30 a.m., about 100 yards west of the 1700 block of North Fabens Road.
The plane contained two males, George Doyle and William Terrell, both 52.
Becerra said both men sustained facial, leg, hip and chest injuries. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening, but they were airlifted to area hospitals for treatment.
"They were pretty banged up," Becerra said.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified about the crash and the Texas Department of Public Safety will assist with the investigation.
