Plane Crashes in Spenard Lake

Plane Crashes in Spenard Lake (John Gomes / September 30, 2012)

The NTSB confirms that a pilot escaped injury after a Kodiak plane crashed into Lake Spenard.  She was the only person on board, and the NTSB says no one else was hurt.

Clint Johnson with the NTSB says the plane was owned and operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Johnson said the plane lost control during touchdown, which caused it to crash. Johnson said the east-west water lane at the airport was closed for arrivals and departures.

NTSB said they are in the formative stages of the plane crash investigation.
