4 dead, 6 injured in plane crash in southwest Alaska

A Cessna 208 with at least 10 people on board crashed in southwest Alaska on Friday evening, killing four people including the pilot and injuring six others, officials said.

The small, single-engine aircraft, heading for St. Mary's from Bethel, two small settlements in a remote area of the U.S. state, was reported missing at about 7 pm local time (0400 GMT Saturday), said Megan Peters, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers. (Reuters)
