ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska State Troopers have identified two people killed in last week’s crash of a small plane in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
Authorities say 45-year-old pilot Christopher Maize of Anchorage and 36-year-old Andrew Broders of Washington state died in the Feb. 4 crash.
Rescue workers were notified just before noon when an emergency locator transmitter was activated in the Cessna 185. Authorities say the plane fell in a remote, forested area about 13 miles northeast of Chitina.
