Two people unhurt when small plane crashes into Goodnews Bay

No one was injured when a six-seat plane crashed into a bay off the coast of Southwest Alaska early Monday, according to a Federal Aviation Administration accident notice.

It’s unclear why the Piper PA-32 crashed into Goodnews Bay, said Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the FAA. Two people were on board the plane but there were no injuries, according to the accident notice.

Kenitzer said the aircraft was heavily damaged. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, Kenitzer said, but no other information was immediately available.
