What happened
On a scheduled flight departing from La Paz-El Alto Airport at 16:37 local time, a single-engine aircraft was en route to Rurrenabaque. The flight was carrying a total of thirteen people, including two pilots and eleven passengers. Approximately six minutes after takeoff, while the aircraft was maintaining a cruising altitude of 14,500 feet, the engine ceased functioning.
Following the loss of power, the crew initiated a descent to a lower altitude to attempt an emergency landing. During this process, the aircraft struck a field and overturned, coming to rest in an upside-down position. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the plane.
Injuries
Among the thirteen people on board, four individuals sustained serious injuries, including both pilots and two passengers. The remaining nine occupants of the aircraft suffered minor injuries during the accident.
