CARACAS, Venezuela — A 6-year-old British boy was killed when a small plane carrying British tourists crashed shortly after takeoff from an airstrip near Venezuela’s Angel Falls.
The boy was traveling with eight other British tourists, including his parents, civil protection director Luis Diaz told The Associated Press on Saturday.
He said all 10 survivors on board, including a Venezuelan pilot and co-pilot, were flown to nearby Ciudad Bolivar and were being treated for injuries at a hospital.
Diaz said investigators were headed for the crash site Saturday and have yet to determine the cause of the crash.
