Dow Jones03-24

By Juan Forero

A large military transport plane carrying Colombian troops crashed Monday in a forested part of the country's southern jungles, officials said.

The aircraft, a Lockheed Martin Hercules C-130, was lifting off from Puerto Leguízamo, a town on the Putumayo River across from Peru, when it went down, said Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez.

"Military units are at the site," Sanchez said. "It had not been determined with precision the number of victims nor the cause of the crash."

The plane was carrying 114 passengers and 11 crew members, said Gen. Carlos Silva, commander of Colombia's air force. He said that 48 were rescued and were receiving treatment.
