Two men walked away, only one with minor injuries, after their plane crashed in Lake Minnewaska Friday.
The Pope County Sheriff's office said it received a call around 1 p.m. Friday of a possible plane crash near Peter's Sunset Resort on the south side of Lake Minnewaska.

The plane lost altitude quickly and made hard landing, causing damage to one of the plane's floats.
The plane then sank in 10 to 14 feet of water.
The plane was piloted by Skipper Cook, 53 of Eden Prairie.

The two men were able to exit the plane prior to it being submerged.
One of the men had minor injuries, but neither were taken to the hospital.
