Four people died in the northern New Mexico community of Angel Fire after the single-engine plane they were traveling in crashed as it was taking off, and an Albuquerque TV station reports all four victims are from San Antonio.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says the cause of the crash was unknown, but noted that the Angel Fire area was experiencing heavy winds at the time of the crash on Sunday afternoon.
No information was immediately available about the two adults and two children who were aboard the single-engine Mooney plane.
The plane's destination wasn't immediately known.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA are on their way to the crash site.
Angel Fire is located 150 miles northeast of Albuquerque.
Records show the plane was owned by a company in Scottsville, Texas.
KOAT-TV cited an Angel Fire airport source who said the four victims are from San Antonio.
