Associated Press

THE COLONY, Texas -- The body of a woman who died in the crash of a small plane into Lewisville Lake has been recovered.

The Colony Fire Department Capt. Kenny Adamcik on Friday said crews around 8:30 p.m. Thursday located the woman's body in the float plane.

Adamcik told The Associated Press that a man survived Thursday afternoon's crash and was transported to a hospital. His name and condition were not immediately available.

Adamcik confirmed to AP that the person who died was a woman, despite earlier reports from some emergency personnel that the man on board had been killed.

Two pontoons were all that was visible following the accident that left the plane upside-down in the lake about 20 miles north of Dallas.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
