At least one person is dead and two others have been injured in a small plane crash in a remote area of Olympic National Park in Washington, authorities said.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening at approximately 6:50 p.m. when park rangers were notified of a crash in the Quinault area of Olympic National Park on a steep slope north of the Irely Lake Trailhead, according to a statement from the National Park Service.
“Rangers immediately coordinated a response with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Search and Rescue,” officials said. “The three occupants of the plane — a Murphy SR3500 Moose — were transported to a Level 1 Trauma Center.”
Authorities said that two occupants were being treated for their injuries and that one person died due to the crash.
