A plane crashed near Bethel yesterday, and all on board survived. Alaska State Troopers reported that a Yute Commuter Services PA-32 plane crashed about 30 miles northeast of Bethel on its way from Aniak on April 11. Aniak is about 91 miles away.

The pilot and three passengers all survived with no injuries. They were picked up by an Alaska Army National Guard helicopter and transported back to Bethel.

State troopers say that the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been notified.
