A crash in Doña Ana County International Jetport in southern New Mexico has left three people injured.

Authorities found out about a small, Cessna-style plane that crashed on airport property around 10:57 A.M., according to Sunland Park Fire Chief Daniel Medrano. Firefighters from Sunland Park and Doña Ana County arrived and found witnesses removed two people from the plane.

Two people were flown to an area hospital who are in serious but stable condition while an ambulance took the third person to the hospital in critical condition, according to Medrano. All of them sustained life-threatening injuries.

Medrano stated they’re still unsure which person was the pilot or what caused the crash. The New Mexico State Police will investigate the matter.

Sunland Park Fire Department, Doña Ana County Fire Rescue, El Paso Fire Department and Native Air also responded.

The investigation is still ongoing as limited information is available right now. Further updates about this case will be posted soon.
