LAKEWAY, Texas (KXAN) — Austin-Travis County EMS said it responded to a small plane crash Sunday morning in western Travis County.

According to ATCEMS, the plane crashed onto a golf course in the 500 block of Flamingo Boulevard near the Lakeway area.

The Federal Aviation Administration said a single-engine Mooney M20 crashed around 9:45 a.m. Sunday. Only the pilot was on board, according to the FAA.

LPD said the plane was heading to Tennessee from another location when the pilot tried to make an emergency landing after losing power, gliding onto the driving range near the Airpark and crashing into a Lakeway Municipal Utility District lift station. LPD said the lift station was still functioning.

EMS said the patient involved in the incident was able to remove themselves from the plane and medics assessed them for injuries.

ATCEMS said it would remain on the scene and support LTFR with cleanup efforts.

The FAA said it, along with the National Transportation Safety Board, would investigate the crash, but the NTSB would be in charge of the investigation and provide any updates.
