Six killed in Mexico plane crash

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico: Six people were killed when the small Cessna plane they were in crashed in northeastern Mexico, authorities said Saturday.
The plane crashed Friday near the US border in Hidalgo, Tamaulipas state. Officials had initially said that only three people had died.
But an official from the Tamaulipas prosecutors' office later said "there were six killed in the small plane crash."
The plane was headed from Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, to the city of Monterrey in the neighboring state of Nuevo Leon.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the accident. The plane apparently burst into flames before it crashed, the state civil protection office said. – AFP
