Rescue plane crash lands on Jersey

A search-and-rescue plane with five people on board has crash-landed on the north coast of Jersey while searching for two missing fishermen.

Those onboard the plane, which crash-landed just after 19:15 GMT in woodland close to the Priory Inn, at Devil's Hole, St Mary, were not injured.

The aircraft is understood to be intact after hitting a tree.

The two fishermen who were reported missing in a dinghy off the coast have now been found, Jersey Coastguard said.
