6 killed, 3 injured in Argentine plane crash
Six people were killed and three others seriously injured as a mini business jet crashed Sunday night at the international airport of Argentina's second largest city of Cordoba, according to a spokesman of the airport.

The spokesman said the Pipper Navajo PA 31 private jet, with two pilots and seven passengers aboard, landed 700 meters short of the runway, killing the pilots and four passengers.

The spokesman said the four passengers killed were a well-known Argentine car racer and his child and the head of the Toyota auto racing team and his child.

The racers were returning from the western city of San Juan after a car race there.

An Air Force spokesman said it was not clear what caused the accident. Local TV footage showed that the fog was heavy as the tragedy occurred about 8 pm.
