Two people were hospitalized following a plane crash near Metaline Falls, Wash.
The single-engine Cessna 182 crashed off the runway and overturned Sunday at Sullivan Lake State Airport, according to the Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office, which was alerted to the accident at 12:19 p.m. The pilot and passenger were taken to area hospitals with serious but unspecified injuries, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.

The airport is located alongside a popular campground at the north end of Sullivan Lake, which is in the Colville National Forest.
