The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating a Central Texas plane crash that killed two people.
Authorities say the small plane crashed near the airport in Kerrville at around 7 p.m. on Saturday. Kerrville is located about 65 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Justice of the Peace Precinct 2. J.R. Hoyne told KENS 5 that two people aboard the plane were killed.
Their names were not immediately released by authorities. But Hoyne said the two people killed were a man and a woman. Their bodies were taken to Travis County for an autopsy.
The plane crash caused a small brush fire that burned a few acres near a high school. The Kerrville Fire Department was able to extinguish the blaze.
Officials were still trying to determine a cause for the plane crash.
