First responders in Los Angeles County responded to reports of a small plane down on Catalina Island Tuesday night, officials confirmed to KTLA.
Details are extremely limited, but crews with the L.A. County Fire and the Avalon Sheriff’s departments began their search just before 8:30 p.m. at El Rancho Escondido Reservoir Road on Catalina, according to an L.A. County FD alert.
It’s unclear where the plane was coming from and whether it might have been attempting to land or take off from Avalon Airport.
There are also reports that wreckage of the downed aircraft had been located, but there was no word on the number of people aboard the plane or if there were any survivors.
Search crews were continuing their efforts.
This developing story will be updated when additional details become available.
