Five people have died in a small Mexican Navy plane crash in Mexico, a neighboring country of the United States.

Five of the eight people on board the plane died in the crash on the causeway near Galveston Island, Texas, near the US-Mexico border on Monday afternoon. According to US Coast Guard Petty Officer Luke Baker, the plane was carrying four Navy officers, a child and other civilians.

The US military said that three people were rescued after the crash off the coast of the US state of Texas. “Our team prioritized rescue and we were able to safely rescue four people,” Officer Luke said. “We are saddened by the loss of one person during the rescue.” The Coast Guard has not yet released the identity of the deceased.
