A plane crashes in Slovakia, three people die

Three people were killed when their small plane crashed near the village of Mokry Haj in western Slovakia on Friday, emergency services said.
According to foreign media, the four-seater plane was registered in the neighboring Czech Republic and was flying from there when it crashed at 0840 GMT near the Czech border.
“Three people were found by members of the Fire and Rescue Service without signs of life,” a spokeswoman for the rescue service, Lena Kostalova, told AFP.

The accident happened about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Slovak capital Bratislava.
“After the crash, the plane burst into flames. The accident claimed three victims and one was probably from the Czech Republic,” the regional police force said
