“At this time it is believed there are no survivors,” Lt Ryan Higgins of the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. Higgins said the two planes hit each other and then crashed into Lake Coeur d’Alene, near Powderhorn Bay, sometime after 2 pm Pacific time. There was a “pretty bad oil slick” at the scene after the crash, Higgins said, according to KREM, a local outlet. Both planes have been located by the sheriff’s office sonar team, according to Higgins. The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to messages left Sunday night.
