Authorities are working to recover the wreckage of a plane crash in western Alaska that killed 10 people while investigators are trying to determine what caused the small commuter aircraft to go down in the icy Bering Sea.

A small Bering Air plane that crashed with 10 people on board in Alaska has been located, authorities have said. The US Coast Guard said the aircraft was discovered around 34 miles southeast of Nome in western Alaska and that it believed there were no survivors.

The search continues Friday for a small plane that went missing in Alaska, with 10 people on board. The Bering Air flight was traveling from the village of Unalakleet to Nome when it was reported missing at around 4 p.m. local time Thursday, according to the Alaska Department of Public Safety, State Troopers.
