ALASKA - Search-and-rescue crews recovered three bodies Sunday afternoon from the site of a Friday plane crash in mountainous terrain on the northern Kenai Peninsula, according to officials. <\/font><\/span><\/p>

The Alaska Mountain Rescue Group, troopers and a National Transportation Safety Board investigator left early Sunday to reach the site by ground. Ken Marsh, a spokesman for the troopers, said the group reached the crash site just before 2 p.m. and recovery efforts were complete around 3 p.m.<\/p>

The bodies will be transported to the State Medical Examiner Office for identification, according to an <\/span>online alert<\/a> <\/span>issued by troopers.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The plane was headed to Seward Airport, where two Medevac Alaska employees planned to pick up a patient from Providence Seward Medical Center before returning to Anchorage, according to a statement from Security Aviation, which operated the plane.<\/p>

In a Facebook post late Sunday, Medevac Alaska identified its two employees aboard the plane as Rob Cartner and Maddox Burts.<\/p>

The <\/span>plane crashed <\/span><\/a>under unknown circumstances about 15 miles west of Quartz Creek Airport. The twin-engine Piper PA-31 left Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on Friday around 6:30 p.m., according to the NTSB.<\/p>

The plane was reported overdue at 7:15 p.m. An aircraft dispatched by the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center flew over the crash Friday night, but troopers wrote in the online alert that weather and terrain prevented a landing at the site. A Department of Public Safety helicopter flew over the scene Saturday afternoon with an NTSB investigator onboard but the helicopter was also unable to land.<\/p>

Investigators believe the plane burned after crashing at about 1,500 feet elevation.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
