AUGUSTA — State officials say one person was killed and another was injured when a plane went down near the Canadian border during a storm that dumped as much as 2 feet of snow on the region.

Steve McCausland of the Maine Department of Public Safety said a Canadian search and rescue helicopter reached the site Monday night and airlifted the injured person to a hospital in Canada. The victims’ identities weren’t immediately available.

Maine State Police, the Maine Warden Service and the Maine Emergency Management Agency coordinated the search after the plane’s emergency responder activated after the pilot reported icing Monday afternoon.

McCausland said the four-seat Diamond DA-40 left Halifax, Nova Scotia, earlier in the day en route to Quebec. He said it may have been returning when it went down in northwest Somerset County.
