Default King Air down in Midland Texas

Happened about 0800 hrs this morning. From what I know, looks like pilot was on final for Rwy 25 at Midland Airpark MDD. Crashed into two houses, pilot received minor injuries and was pulled from wreckage. One house burned to ground and others sustained significant damage. Weather was IFR.
Lucky guy.

Were they filming an episode of "Hoarders" at the house he crashed into? Look at all that crap!
