Small Plane Crashes in Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A small plane crashed in fog and rain Saturday in northeastern Puerto Rico, killing at least five people on board, including an infant, authorities said.

The 12-seater smashed into a remote, rocky area near the Rio Grande, some 22 miles east of San Juan, said Oscar Sotomayor, acting operations director of the State Agency for Emergency Management.

The plane ``broke apart into fragments'' upon impact, he said. There was no sign of survivors.
