Default USA Jet Airlines DC-9 freighter crash in Mexico

Early today, a DC-9-15 freighter (registration number N199US) operated by Michigan-based on-demand carrier USA Jet Airlines has crashed at Saltillo, Mexico. Information about the accident is still sketchy at this time, however the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued an advisory minutes ago stating that an NTSB team is being dispatched to assist the Mexican authorities with the accident investigation.

In that advisory, the NTSB said that the aircraft crashed on approach to the Saltillo Airport, Saltillo, Mexico, at about 2:15 a.m. EDT, on July 6, 2008. According to the NTSB, there were two crew members aboard the cargo plane. The captain was killed and the first officer was critically injured. There are no reported injuries on the ground.

A Spanish language website, Vanguardia, has posted an article about the DC-9 crash in Saltillo, along with a photo of the accident aircraft. The freighter appears to have been completely destroyed, with its fuselage broken apart and burned. The Vanguardia article says that the aircraft crashed to the north of the airfield.
