A plane takes off from Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton in 2011.

Emergency personnel are responding to a plane crash near the tarmac at Bar Harbor's airport.

A spokesperson from the Federal Aviation Administration said the crash happened at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday when the single-engine plane tried to land. A representative from Cape Air, the only commercial airline servicing Bar Harbor, said none of their flights were involved.

The FAA has not commented on the condition of the 2 people on board. The plane had taken off from Morris County, New Jersey earlier this morning.
