Dive teams and rescue crews were searching for the pilot and passenger who were on a small, single-engine plane that crashed into Utah Lake.
The crash happened just after 10 a.m. Friday near the Provo Airport.
Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Office said the plane was cleared by air traffic control to land at the airport before it dove into the lake.
Officials said the plane was submerged and lodged within about 10 feet of water. The plane's built in parachute system was deployed but arrived too late to be effeective.
Soon after 3 p.m., Sgt. Garrett Duston confirmed two men were inside the plane when it went down - the pilot and a passenger.
He said officials have talked to their families.
