Alaska State Troopers are responding to a small plane crash near the south end of the Kenai Peninsula.

Two people perished and one is in critical condition. It appears from photos shared on social media that the plane, a small commercial commuter, crashed on the beach at about 2 pm.

The injured passenger has reportedly been medevaced to Anchorage.

The crash site is near the Nanwalek, which is a hamlet formerly known as English Bay where there is a short gravel air strip. It is south of Homer, southwest of Seldovia and near Port Graham.

The plane appears to belong to Smokey Bay Air, which is a commercial air charter service out of Homer.
