A good Samaritan rescued one person, and the Coast Guard is searching for two others in the water after the crash Saturday night near Lakefront Airport.

In a statement, the Coast Guard said it received a report that a Cessna training flight crashed into the water about 8:20 p.m.
Later Sunday, the Coast Guard said it had found the wreckage of the plane, but not the two missing people. The search was continuing.
