The plane landed on the water near the Sherman/New Fairfield border before 4 p.m. and began taking on water, NBC Connecticut said.

A good Samaritan boater got the plane's occupants off the plane safely, NBC said.

DEEP crews will assist with any environmental problems, including the possibility of fuel getting into the water.
