A plane crash in Colombia killed 10 people

At least 10 people were killed in an airplane crash in northwestern Colombia. This was reported by Xinhua news agency on January 11.

"There are no survivors. There are 37 people working at the site and we are accelerating the second phase, which consists of retrieving the bodies and coordinating with the Judicial Police," said Carlos Rios Puerta, director of Antioquia's risk management department.

He said unfavorable weather conditions are complicating the search process, as it has to be conducted on the ground without the support of helicopters.

The Pacifica Travel plane was reported missing on Wednesday, January 8, while en route from Jurado to Medellin. It crashed in rural Urrao, a municipality in the northwestern Colombian department of Antioquia. Two crew members and eight passengers were on board.
