Small plane crashes on road in Malaysia’s Selangor, at least 9 dead

A small plane crashed on a street in Malaysia’s Selangor, triggering a fiery explosion and killing at least nine people.

A dash-cam video captured the plane’s crash, which created a large cloud of black smoke. It is unclear if anyone outside the plane perished in the explosion.

Videos on social media showed multiple police cars, ambulances, fire trucks and medics. Witnesses told local media that the airplane exploded upon impact, with some of the debris from the crash hitting a motorcycle.

Shah Alam district police chief Mohamad Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed that a jet has crashed. He said it appeared that all the passengers on the plane had perished but couldn’t give further details.

Another police officer, who declined to be named as he isn’t authorized to speak to the media, said that at least nine bodies have been found.

Civil aviation authorities said there were six passengers and two crew members on board the plane

Transport Minister Anthony Loke is expected to release further details at a news conference later Thursday.
