Two planes collided over Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho on Sunday and crashed into the water below, authorities said.

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said the planes have been located by its sonar team and two bodies were pulled from the water.

The Spokesman-Review reported that the sheriff’s office does not have the equipment needed to reach the planes, and will likely have to hire a commercial diving group.

Patrick Pearce told the Spokesman-Review that he saw two single-engine planes coming towards each other, 800 to 900 feet above the water.

Pearce, a pilot himself, said he recognized by the engine sounds that both planes were traveling at a fairly high rate of speed, the newspaper reported!

The planes collided before crashing into the lake, Pearce said.
