Aircraft Crash in Arizona
A plane crashed in Arizona's Superstition Mountains, according to ABC News Phoenix affiliate KNXV, citing witnesses and local authorities -- but officials told ABC News that passenger flights at major local airports all were accounted for.
Initial indications were that it was a general aviation plane, not a commercial flight -- but it was not clear how big a plane may have crashed or how many people may have been involved.
Officials were having difficulty getting access to the crash site in rugged terrain, The Associated Press reported.
