Malaysia air crash: Deaths feared after plane strikes highway

A private jet that was trying to land in Malaysia collided with a road, perhaps killing several persons.

Police informed Reuters and AFP that when the jet struck Guthrie Highway close to Elmina, eight persons on board as well as two drivers all perished.

CAAM, the aviation regulator, would not, however, confirm the fee.

The Beechcraft Model 390 aircraft, which was flying from Langkawi to Selangor, collided with the highway while trying to land.

According to Selangor Police Chief Hussein Omar Khan, the plane crashed on the highway as it was about to arrive at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Selangor after losing communication with the air traffic control tower.

“There was no emergency call, and the aircraft had been given clearance to land,” he continued.

Norazman Mahmud, the chief executive of the aviation authority, stated that the conditions of the six passengers and two members of the flight crew are yet unknown.

He noted that a search and rescue operation was underway.
