A small plane crashed Tuesday in Bahamian waters off the coast of Florida and all 10 people aboard were rescued, officials in the Bahamas said.

The pilot had declared an emergency and then communication with the aircraft was lost, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority in the Bahamas said in a media post. The U.S. Coast Guard and multiple Bahamian agencies were involved in the ensuing search and rescue.
