Witnesses report plane crash in N.B.

RCMP and search and rescue aircraft are responding to reports of a plane in distress off the coast of southwestern New Brunswick.

Military officials told CBC that an eyewitness in the Point Lepreau area reported a low-flying aircraft that seemed to be having engine trouble.

Local radio stations have reported that a plane has crashed, but that has not been confirmed.

Jae Malana, a spokesperson for the Department of National Defence, said no military aircraft is missing.

RCMP have not confirmed any crash, and emergency crews have been sent out to the area around Pennfield, about 60 kilometres west of Saint John.

Search and rescue spokesperson Lieut. Pat Jessop said a military plane and helicopter are searching the area, while a coast guard ship is patrolling the waters. (snip)
