Plane lands in Eagle Mountain Lake, no information about injuries or passengers
NORTH TEXAS – First responders are investigating what caused a plane to go down in Eagle Mountain Lake.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the FAA said the single-engine Champion model 7EC went down at 12:40 p.m., and the number of people on board was unknown. It is not yet clear whether anyone who was on the plane made it out of the water.
CBS News Texas Chopper was over the lake, showing the small plane mostly submerged. The tail number, visible from the air, identifies the plane's owner as a North Richland Hills man.
The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office said they sent deputies to the scene but the Tarrant Regional Water District is the point of contact for information.
