A private jet on its way to pick up the former US President, George Bush, has crashed in bad weather near Houston in Texas, killing the three crew members on board.
Safety inspectors and FBI agents went to the scene, and officials said the crash appeared to be an accident.
The Gulfstream jet was due to take Mr Bush, the father of President George W Bush, on a visit to Ecuador.
Witnesses said the jet, owned by a charter company, clipped a light tower on a highway when it was approaching the airport in foggy weather.
The jet left a trail of debris that struck several cars as it plunged to the ground. No one on the ground was injured.
