The dashcam video obtained by USA TODAY shows the aftermath of the crash, which led to road closures.
Moya said that three people suffered from non-life-threatening injuries. Another victim was taken to an out-of-town hospital for "higher level treatment," she added.
The pilot was also evaluated. Neither the drivers nor the pilot have been publicly identified.
Tony Poynor, who captured the footage on his dash camera, told KPRC that he saw the Piper PA-31 crash and helped the motorists who were impacted.
“I thought the plane was going to hit me. I saw the shadow on the wall of the overpass and knew it was too close,” Poynor told the outlet. "[I feel] blessed for everybody else that was there that they survived, and, you know... walk away from this thing."
