Eleven skydivers and a pilot died in a plane crash in the Midwestern US state of Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the crash occurred near the Butler Memorial Airport on Sunday.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it was not providing air traffic control services at the time of the crash.
The private plane, operated by Skydive Kansas City, took off from Butler airport but “turned around for an unknown reason” and crashed near a road, according to Bates County Emergency Management.
Butler is about 95 km south of Kansas City, Missouri.
