Two people have died in a light plane crash at Raglan.
The Fire Service said the aircraft crashed into the harbour, just to the south of the town centre, this afternoon.
A spokesperson said he understood emergency services workers were able to walk out to the plane in shallow water.
Two bodies have been recovered.
A nearby resident, Ted Glynn, said he heard "an almighty bang" that he thought sounded like something heavy crashing, such as a big truck.
He could not see the plane from this house but heard ambulance and fire sirens.
