Investigators say a pilot has been killed in the crash of his small plane in an East Texas neighborhood.

The Texas Department of Public Safety on Thursday identified the victim as 51-year-old Stephen Annis of Huntsville.

Authorities say Annis was alone during the crash in a wooded area near Lake Palestine (PAL'-uhs-teen). Pieces of wreckage were scattered among the trees and on a road.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the crash.
