The NTSB has completed its investigation following the deadly crash of a Piper PA-32 in Madisonville, Texas on June 14, 2021. During the accident, the plane crashed near the local regional airport while attempting to land.   According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the pilot, Apolo Diaz, is the lone fatality.  Five passengers were injured in the crash.  The plane appears to have struck trees while attempting to land, and crashed 400 feet short of the runway.  The Madisonville Airport is an unmanned airport, which is supposed to have lights to guide approaching aircraft during nighttime hours.  It is unknown at this time if the guide-lights were in use at the time of the crash.
