A small plane with three people on board crashed on a dirt road in the North Dome Valley, about 25 miles northeast of Yuma, Arizona, after the pilot reported engine problems and loss of power. The pilot notified the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma tower of the issue on Friday and intended to find a place to land. U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Air and Marine Operations helicopter crew located the downed plane on a dirt road within five minutes, and a Border Patrol agent also responded. The three occupants were reported to be OK with no serious injuries. The cause of the engine trouble was unclear.
