A small plane travelling to Costa Rica's capital of San Jose crashed on Monday afternoon, authorities said, killing five of the six passengers on board.
Firefighters said they had located the wrecked aircraft and confirmed that most aboard had died. A sixth person, who the Red Cross identified as a 31-year-old woman, is in critical condition.
The aircraft, a Cessna 206 Stationair, which departed from Tortuguero, crashed near Mount Pico Blanco.
All of those aboard were from Costa Rica, according to the country's civil aviation authority.
