ALASKA - No injuries are reported following a second crash of a flight involving Medevac Alaska in less than a month.
<\/p>

Tuesday's crash took place near Koliganek.<\/p>


<\/p>

National Transportation Safety Board Alaska Chief Clint Johnson said it happened while on the flight back to Anchorage. The pilot and two crew members dropped off a patient at New Stuyahok when the single-engine plane lost power.<\/p>


<\/p>

\"[The pilot] was unable to get the engine re-lit, declared an emergency with Anchorage Center, tried to get into Koliganek,\" Johnson said. \"Unfortunately was not able to make it, made an emergency landing onto a frozen lake bed, gear up, and that's where the airplane ended up.\"<\/p>


<\/p>

Johnson said a good Samaritan in a helicopter from Dillingham rescued the plane's occupants, who had no serious injuries.

Resolve Aviation handled the flight.<\/p>


<\/p>

No one from the company or Medevac Alaska would comment on the crash.<\/p>


<\/p>

Three people died in the Nov. 29 crash that involved a flight from Security Aviation. It flew a crew from the Medevac Alaska team to Seward from Anchorage when it went down near Cooper Landing.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
