There was also a helicopter crash before 11am on private property at Headwaters Ranch between Sisterdale and Luckenbach. leading to the hospitalization of the pilot and passenger when it hit a tree, a DPS preliminary report said. The pilot was airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio, and the passenger was taken to Methodist Hill Country Hospital in Fredericksburg.  The FAA will lead the investigation.
