Medina County — One fatality has been confirmed in a plane crash that happened in Medina County on Sunday morning, according to the Medina County Sheriff's Office.

Medina County Sheriff Randy Brown confirms that 68-year-old Carl Bray is the pilot identified in Sunday morning's fatal plane crash. He says they believe Bray had departed from Freedom Springs Ranch Airport near Pipe Creek, TX.

A family member tells KENS 5 Bray leaves behind a wife and three daughters. She said the family is broken in a million pieces.

Sgt. Orlando Moreno with Texas Department of Public Safety said that the fire that started from the crash didn't spread because it wasn't very windy Sunday morning.
