Colombian singer Yeison Jimenez and five others reportedly died on Saturday after a small plane they were on crashed during takeoff in the Paipa area of Boyaca, Colombia.
According to a report by Colombia One, the crash took place while Jimenez, having already performed in Boyaca, was on his way to Medellin in the private aircraft. From there, he was scheduled to be in Marinilla for another performance on Sunday night.
Early reports suggest the plane struggled to gain altitude after takeoff and went down at the end of the runway. A video also showed the small plane taxiing on the runway moments before the crash.
The plane was completely destroyed by the fire that erupted after the crash.
