The National Park Service said a small Cessna 180J float plane crash-landed near the Brooks Camp in Katmai National Park at around 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

All four occupants — a pilot and three passengers — were transported to an Anchorage area hospital with “non-critical injuries,” park officials said.
