On December 22nd, 2025 a catastrophic event took place just off Galveston Island in West Bay, just South of the Causeway Bridge. A plane crash took the lives of 6 people where only two individuals aboard survived. The Precinct 2 Constables office wishes to extend its deepest sympathy and offer its condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. May they rest in peace.
The bravery displayed by local first responders was nothing short of heroic. The effort and response was classic to the passion that exists among Galveston County responders in helping others and saving lives. A huge shout out to all who responded both on and off duty from dispatchers to police officers, deputies, EMS and firefighters. It takes a collaborative and coordinated effort for this scale of an event. Also deserving recognition were the civilians who eagerly assisted with private vessels and equipment to assist first responders getting out to the scene. The dense fog made it difficult to navigate during recovery efforts but all prevailed and pushed on without hesitation. Itโs difficult to understand why these things happen, especially during the holiday season, but they do.
Please keep not only the families of the crash victims in your prayers but first responders as well. Responding in the moment and sacrificing safety for others is normal and performed instinctively. Itโs when we get home, the battle starts. Re-living the images, second guessing our actions and just trying to comprehend it all and make sense of it is grueling to say the least. Again, phenomenal job by all, God blessโฆ
