Rescue teams located on Monday a small aircraft that crashed the previous day with five occupants in a mountainous region of Colombia. The Cessna T206 aircraft, with registration HK4985, had departed from the jungle town of Condoto, in the department of Chocó, bound for Bogotá, and lost contact a few minutes after takeoff.
On board the aircraft were the pilot and four members of a medical brigade from the Civil Air Patrol (PAC), a private organization that provides health services in remote areas of the country. Rescue teams managed to pinpoint the exact location of the aircraft's impact site in a high mountain area of difficult access.
Images shared by the Colombian Aerospace Force show wreckage of the fuselage on a steep mountain, which show "indications" of belonging to the crashed aircraft. The information was confirmed by the accident investigation division of the Civil Aviation Authority in a statement.
Colombian authorities have not yet reported whether there are survivors among the five occupants of the aircraft.
