July 17 (UPI) — Federal investigators are on the scene of a small plane crash in the Pacific Northwest that killed one person and left two others injured in a remote part of Olympic National Park in Washington.
Park rangers were notified that the plane went down on a steep slope about 6:50 PDT Tuesday north of the Irely Lake Trailhead, the National Park Service said in a statement.
“Rangers immediately coordinated a response with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Search and Rescue,” the NPS reported. “The three occupants of the plane — a Murphy SR3500 Moose — were transported to a Level 1 Trauma Center.”
The surviving victims were being treated for their injuries. None of their identities have been released.
