A small aircraft has crashed near Washington DC’s Ronald Reagan National Airport, according to local officials.
It came down in the Potomac River, officials said, and search and rescue boats have been deployed to the area.
Takeoffs and landings have been halted at the airport as emergency personnel respond to the incident, the airport wrote in a post on X.
It is not yet clear what caused the crash, which happened at around 21:00 local time on Wednesday.
Kansas Senator Roger Marshall wrote in a post on X that he had seen “reports of a collision with a DC helicopter and an inbound flight from Wichita, Kansas”.
That has not been confirmed by the authorities.
Marshall said he was in contact with officials for more information.
