I read the local news paper article. Nothing in that article indicates there was a crash of any kind. It indicates the plane sunk while attempting take off and all the passengers got out before it sunk.

Although a crash isn't out of the realm of possibility, and we all know media can be unreliable, but it sounds more like an incident occurred in which forced the pilot to abort takeoff and as a result it took on water....maybe damaged floats etc.
