A U. S. Coast Guard cutter stationed in Miami has joined Bahamian officials in the search for two possible survivors from a plane crash near the Bahamas on Monday.

The Coast Guard received notification Monday afternoon from Federal Aviation Administration officials that it had lost communications with a small airplane with two onboard.

The plane reportedly took off from Marsh Harbor, Bahamas and was headed for Daytona Beach.

Bahamian authorities, including Royal Bahamas Defence Force and the Bahamian Air and Sea Rescue Association, requested the Coast Guard's assistance in locating the site of the crash.
