No one inside the house was injured in the Tuesday night crash.

The Cessna 208 had just departed Austin Bergstrom International Airport and was flying at an altitude of 7,000 feet when it lost power over southern Williamson County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Pilot Michael Francis McKenna, of Cedar Creek, tried to make an emergency landing at Georgetown Municipal Airport. Instead, the plane struck a utility pole and landed on the house about 20 miles north of Austin.

McKenna was treated and released from Brackenridge Hospital.

The plane had been headed to Alliance Airport in Fort Worth.
