NACHES, Wash. —

Two people were killed when their small plane crashed in the Cascade mountains of central Washington.

Nisha Marvel of the state Department of Transportation's aviation division says the wreckage of the four-seat Lancair ES was found Friday evening in Kittitas County near Cle Elum. It had dropped out of radar and radio contact with air traffic controllers about 3 p.m.

Campers in that area also reported hearing a low-flying aircraft around that time.

Marvel said the plane was flying from Alaska and was due to land in Idaho before 4 p.m. Friday. She said she had no reports that the pilot made any distress call.

The identities and hometowns of the victims are not immediately available.
