Crashes In Honduras
Tegucigalpa -
small plane carrying drugs has crashed on
one of Honduras' Caribbean islands, killing
one man and injuring two others.
Naval commander Rear Adm. Juan Pablo
Rodriguez says the plane had apparently ran
out of fuel on a dark, rainy night.
The plane registered in Venezuela was
carrying around 3,300 pounds (1,500
kilograms) of cocaine when it crashed Sunday
on Utila, one of the Bay Islands off
Honduras' northern coast.
The plane was destroyed in the crash but did
not catch fire. The pilot and co-pilot
survived.
The flight was detected by U.S. anti-drug
radar when it entered Honduran airspace. It
was the third such incident in Honduras this
year. |
