Plane crash reported near Dillingham, Alaska; 8 believed aboard.
Authorities say a plane believed to be carrying eight people has crashed in southwest Alaska.
Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes says the Guard was called to the area about 20 miles north of Dillingham at about 7 p.m. Monday after a passing aircraft saw the wreckage.
Hayes says there are possible fatalities. State and federal officials say severe weather has hampered the rescue operation.
Hayes says about five good Samaritans were on scene early Tuesday helping the crash victims.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the aircraft is a 1957 DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter registered to Anchorage-based communications company GCI.
