Cargo plane crashes in Romania/ One victim and two injured are reported

One person was killed and two others were injured after a DHL cargo plane crashed near Vilnius Airport in Lithuania in the early hours of November 25.

The DHL plane, operated by contractor Swiftair, which had departed from Leipzig, crashed into a house, a spokesman for Lithuania's National Crisis Management Center said. According to him, all the people inside the house were saved.

Firefighters were seen extinguishing the blaze in a building about 1.3 kilometers north of the airport runway in the Lithuanian capital. An increased presence of ambulances has been seen at the scene and some main roads near the place where the plane crashed have been closed to traffic.

The authorities have not yet clarified the cause of the plane crash, which happened at 05:30 local time. Temperatures at the airport were close to freezing, as there were clouds before sunrise and winds were at speeds of around 30 kilometers per hour.

DHL Group, which has headquarters in Bonn, Germany, has not yet reacted to this case. The downed plane was operated by Swiftair, a Madrid-based contractor. The plane was a Boeing 737 and was 31 years old./ Rel
