Two small aircraft carrying five passengers crashed above the area located northwest of the Yukon River village of Russian Mission, local media reported.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Both Alaska National Guard and Alaska State Troopers have arrived on the scene for medical assistance.

“Two aircraft collided mid-air 60 miles north of Bethel,” the Alaska Dispatch said, citing the state's National Army Guard, on Wednesday. “There are no survivors following [the] crash of two planes [in the area] this morning.”

According to the reports, the planes involved in the crash are a Hageland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan and Renfro's Alaskan Adventures Piper PA-18s. Both companies did not immediately respond with comments.
