The Latest: Locals: Some taken in ambulances from Cuba crash
HAVANA (AP) — The Latest on the plane crash in Havana (all times local):
3:10 p.m.
Residents living near the site of a plane crash in Cuba tell The Associated Press they saw at least some survivors being taken away in ambulances after an airliner with 113 people on board plummeted after takeoff from Havana's international airport.
A military officer who declined to provide his name to reporters says there appear to have been three survivors in critical condition from the Cubana flight. Other officials have declined to confirm that.
The heavily damaged and burnt plane is lying in a field of yuca-root plants.
The plane was rented by Cubana, and an employee of a small Mexican charter firm says the aircraft belongs to the company.
