Several people have died after a small plane used for skydiving with nine people on board crashed near an airport outside Örebro, Sweden, on Thursday, police and emergency services said.
A small propeller plane crashed near Orebro Airport, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Stockholm, according to a warning from the Swedish Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC).
They located the plane next to one of the take-off and take-off points Runways, Carl-Johan Linde, spokesman for the Swedish Maritime Administration that oversees the JRCC, told AFP.
As far as they could tell, the accident occurred while the plane was taking off, he added. Nine people are said to have been on board: eight parachutists and the pilot.
Lars Hedelin, spokesman for the Bergslagen region’s police force, spoke of « several » deaths. He did not want to give an exact number, but said that a person with serious injuries had been taken to hospital.
In 2019, nine people were killed when a plane carrying parachutists crashed off the city of Umea in northeastern Sweden.
