Clint Johnson, the NTSB Alaska Region chief, said on Monday, “Four individuals on board, injuries ranged from serious to critical, and they were medevaced last night.” Johnson said the initial information revealed that the pilot was taking his 3 passengers on a cruise flight from Fairbanks to Bettles, Deadhorse, Barter Island and then back to Fairbanks. The authorities believe that the passengers were from Canada.
The cause of crash is not known at the moment. “Whenever the pilot’s health allows, we want to be able to talk to him to get it first-hand what exactly took place. However his injuries are probably not going to allow us to do that for probably the next couple of days,” Johnson said.
