Officials injured in Mexico plane accident
A small plane carrying government officials and television reporters crashed in northern Mexico.. All five people on board are in a “serious” condition in hospital today.
The Cessna Centurion crashed just before reaching the airport in Ramos Arispe.
The plane was carrying Coahuila state water commission chief Rafael Reyes, his assistant and two TV Azteca reporters. They were admitted to hospital along with the pilot.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
It is at least the fourth plane to crash this year with government officials on board. In November, the interior minister and 15 other people died when a jet ploughed into a Mexico City neighbourhood.
