2 Planes Crash Near San Pablo Bay

The Coast Guard is searching for the occupants of the plane that landed in the bay but have only recovered debris.

Two small airplanes collided in airspace near San Pablo Bay at about 4 p.m. today and one of them landed in the Bay, a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said.
 
One of the planes landed at a local airport but the other landed in San Pablo Bay, Petty Officer Loumania Stewart said. Four Coast Guard boats and one Coast Guard helicopter are trying to locate people who were in the plane that went into the water but so far they've only found debris, not any people, Stewart said.
 
Other agencies are assisting the Coast Guard in the search and rescue operation, Stewart said.
