An airplane crashed at an airport in the United States of America on 2 January 2023.
A light business jet with 4 passengers crashed at an airport in Utah.

While one passenger died, another was taken to the hospital in a critical condition, while the remaining two had "minor bruises". The Embraer 505 aircraft crashed immediately after take-off at the Provo airport near Salt City Lake.

The National Transportation Safety Board tweeted that it was investigating the crash of the aircraft. The airport will remain closed until noon on Tuesday, and a number of flights have been cancelled, according to the airport's website.

Brian Torgersen, the airport manager, told FOX13 that the scene of the crash was “devastating" and was surprised that two of those on board made it out with relatively minor injuries.

Other details of the crash, including its destination and the identities of those on board, have yet to be released.
