An aircraft operated by Colombian airline West Caribbean Airways crashed as it was taking off on Saturday (26 March), killing eight people on board.
The Czech-built Let-410, a twin-engine turboprop aircraft, was taking off for a flight from Old Providence island to the nearby island of San Andres, off the coast of Nicaragua, when an unidentified technical problem reportedly caused it to crash at the edge of the runway, said a spokesman for Aerocivil, Colombia's civil aviation authority.
Those killed included the pilot, co-pilot, five women and a three-year-old boy. Six other passengers on board were injured, reported The Associated Press.
