Mexico: five people were killed when a light aircraft crashed in the northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The Cessna aircraft apparently had engine trouble and crashed about 800 metres from Ciudad Victoria Airport after the pilot unsuccessfully tried to return to the runway. The cause of the crash was under investigation.
