CARACAS - A light plane crashed into three houses on Sunday in the Venezuelan state of Sucre, 400 km east of the capital Caracas, and a newspaper reported six people were killed and 3 injured in the crash.
"We are waiting for the reports of the aeronautic experts," the officer said without giving further details.
According to local daily "El Universal," three people died and at least 13 were injured.
Among the dead is the pilot of the private plane, which took off from Margarita Island, 38 km north of Sucre.
On April 28, 2008, a Cessna light plane crashed into a house a few meters from Caracas' Simon Bolivar international airport, killing four people died and injuring eight others.
