Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Two people died when a small, private plane crashed and caught fire after taking off from Tucson International Airport, officials said.
The twin-engine Beechcraft 300, a turboprop plane also known as King Air and often used for executive transport, was headed to Mexico. It crashed between the airport terminal and a cargo area at 12:40 p.m. Monday, coming to rest near a wall adjacent to a parking garage.
