A federal agency says a small plane carrying three people has crashed in a remote area of western Alaska.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Clint Johnson says there is still no word on the conditions of the two pilots and one passenger, but rescuers were headed to the site.
The NTSB tells KTVA that Alaska state troopers spotted wreckage of the plane near the coastal Togiak, about 200 miles northwest of Anchorage.
The wreckage was in in steep, mountainous terrain, about 12 miles northwest of Togiak.
Johnson says that the Cessna 208 operated by Ravn Connect was en route to Togiak from Quinhagak, about 70 miles away.
The company reported the plane missing Sunday afternoon.
The station says another Ravn Connect flight utilizing a Hageland Aviation Services plane crashed in mid-air with another plane on Aug. 31, killing five people.
