RIVIÈRE MOUCHALAGANE, Que. — A small plane crashed Sunday along the Mouchalagane River in northern Quebec.

Quebec air ambulance company Air Medic says two people were killed in the crash and one other person is in critical condition.

Air Medic spokesman Aziz Fikri says the survivor suffered severe burns and was taken to hospital in Sept-Îles.

Quebec provincial police could not immediately confirm the number of dead or how many people were on board.

The military sent two of their aircraft to the site, which is not easily accessible.

Police and Air Medic have also sent helicopters, but police said the choppers were unable to land nearby.
