According to local reports, after coming off the runway the aircraft went down a bank, and broke in half.

Airport firefighters were quickly on the scene and extinguished a small fire.

Local online news website diez.hn says that six people were taken to hospital.

It is the second Gulfstream G200 runway crash within a week.

On Sunday May 20 a Chinese G200 came off the runway at Yangzhou Taizhou International Airport China whilst being operated on a training flight.
