ing form vs simple form

[Majid72]

Hello
Is it correct to rephrase the sentence A into the sentence B ,and do they mean the same ?

A-A small airplane crashed into a town, destroying some houses, injuring 3 people.

B-A small airplane crashed into a town, destroyed some houses, injured 3 people.

Thanks a lot.

Both need a bit of work, but they carry the same meaning:

A-A small airplane crashed into a town, destroying some houses and injuring 3 people.

B-A small airplane crashed into a town, destroyed some houses, and injured 3 people.
