(México) A plane carrying four Canadian paratroopers crashed on a beach in southern Mexico on Sunday, killing a man who was on the beach.
It was not immediately revealed why the plane crashed, but it appeared to have made a forced landing.
However, the plane fell into a relatively busy area of the beach in the Pacific coast town of Puerto Escondido and almost landed on the victim, whose nationality was not revealed.
The four Canadians and the Mexican aboard the small plane were extricated from the aircraft and transported to a medical center for evaluation.
The Oaxaca state civil defense office said their condition was “stable.”
The names and hometowns of the Canadians who were on board were also not released.
The victim’s wife was nearby, but escaped unhurt.
