More:Pilot hospitalized after small plane crashes into Lady Bird Lake, EMS medics say
Last summer, a small plane crashed west of Interstate 35 into Lady Bird Lake near downtown Austin. Austin-Travis County EMS medics who responded to the June 16 crash found the plane's sole occupant, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden pilot, with serious injuries. He was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center, medics said.
A spokesperson for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said at the time that the plane “had just come out of routine maintenance and the pilot was on a test flight when they reported mechanical issues which forced them to land the plane in Lady Bird Lake."
