Five people died when a freight plane crashed as it was about to land in the north-eastern Mexican city of Monterrey late Tuesday, local authorities said on Wednesday. The private Airbus A300-B4 crashed shortly before midnight, and pieces of the plane fell on airport land and a nearby road, said Jorge Camacho, director of the local civil protection.
The victims were probably the crew members, Camacho said, adding that the cause of the crash was as yet unclear. The airport was functioning normally, he said. The plane had taken off from Mexico City and was operated by Aero Union, Airbus said in a statement.
