A small plane crashed onto a busy street in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Wednesday, killing at least six people including the pilot, officials said.
The plane took off from the Port-au-Prince airport at 3:44pm ET (1944 GMT) en route to the Haitian city of Jacmel, the country’s civil aviation authority said, adding the plane suffered engine failure and sent a distress alert at 4:04pm.
"I extend my sympathies to the families of the victims, who have been just plunged into the greatest desolation by this new tragedy," Prime Minister Ariel Henry wrote on Twitter, without specifying the number of dead or wounded.
Jude Edouard Pierre, mayor of the commune of Carrefour where the plane crashed, said six people had died. A government source said the pilot died after being taken to a hospital.
