Not long after the passage of Tropical Storm Alma, a Grupo TACA airliner has crashed at Toncontin International Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Reports indicate injured persons (unknown if passengers, and, or, crew) were taken to area hospitals.

The flight appears to have started in San Salvador with 124 passengers aboard bound for a pair of stops before finally arriving in Miami, Florida.

Initial reports indicate the plane crashed on a Honduran street and killed the pilot and at least one passenger.

It is not yet known what type of airliner was involved.

The National Transportation Safety Board is dispatching a team of investigators to assist the governments of Honduras and El Salvador in their investigation of a fatal runway overrun today involving a TACA Airlines Airbus A-320 in Tegucigalpa.

NTSB Senior investigator Robert Benzon will serve as the United States Accredited Representative.  He will be accompanied by an NTSB powerplants investigator, two investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and a representative from International Aero Engines.  The BEA of France is also sending an Accredited Representative and a team to participate in the investigation.

The investigation is being conducted by the Civil Aviation Authority of El Salvador (under delegation by the Government of Honduras).
