BOGOTA, Colombia — Authorities in Colombia say a small plane has crashed into a bakery in a residential area shortly after taking off from the capital's airport, and the four people on the aircraft were killed and a dozen people on the ground suffered burn injuries.
Civil aviation officials say the plane had taken off from Bogota's El Dorado airport just minutes before Sunday's crash in the Guaymaral neighborhood. A police commander says the pilot and his three passengers died.
The city's police chief, Major General Humberto Gatibonza Carreno, told The Associated Press that the pilot and his three passengers died.
All 12 people injured were inside the bakery and were taken to hospitals with burns, the fire department reported.
There was no immediate word on their condition.
It was the third crash of a small plane in Bogota in three months. Three people were killed in August when an aircraft crashed in the Cajica area, and three more died in October when a plane smashed onto a highway. —AP
