The Department of Public Safety is looking into a plane crash near the Spicewood Airport on Tuesday evening, which is near the northwest section of Lake Travis.
DPS said the small plane crashed around 6:30 p.m., just after taking off from the airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the pilot of the taildragger plane was practicing landings and takeoffs when the plane stalled and crashed into several trees about 50 feet north of runway.
Two men were onboard the plane, one was able to walk away from the plane with no injuries, the other man was transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.
