A plane carrying Canadian skydivers hits beach in southern Mexico, killing man on the ground
MEXICO CITY — A plane carrying four Canadian skydivers crashed on a beach in southern Mexico on Sunday, killing one man who was on the beach.
According to an article from The Associated Press, there was no immediate information on why the plane went down, but it appeared to have made a forced landing and was largely intact. However, it fell in a relatively populated section of the beach in Puerto Escondido, and landed almost on top of the victim.
AP News said the four Canadians and one Mexican man aboard the small aircraft were removed from the plane and taken for treatment. The Oaxaca state civil defense office said they were in “stable” condition.
