Reports say the British Aerospace 146 short-haul plane, operated by Bolivian charter airline Lamia and carrying 72 passengers and nine crew, crashed in Cerro Gordo in the municipality of La Union shortly before midnight local time (05:00 GMT).

据相关报道称,这架英国生产的Aerospace 146短程支线客机，由玻利维亚航空公司经营，机上有72名乘客及9名机组人员，于当地时间（格林尼治时间5点）在拉乌尼翁Cerro Gordo山区坠毁。

Medellin's Mayor Federico Gutierrez described it as "a tragedy of huge proportions".

麦德林市长费德里科·古铁雷斯称之为“巨大的灾难”。

Poor weather has meant that the crash site, in a mountainous area, is only accessible by land.

飞机坠毁地点位于山区，由于受到恶劣天气的影响，所以救援工作只能从陆地进入。

However, there was no fire on impact, which has given rescuers hope that more survivors may be found.

然而，没有受到火灾的影响，这给救援者找到更多幸存者的可能。

CONMEBOL said in a statement that its president, Alejandro Dominguez, was on his way to Medellin.

南美足球联盟在申明中称，南美足协主席Alejandro Dominguez正在前往麦德林的路上。

"The CONMEBOL family greatly regrets what happened. All activities of the confederation are suspended until further notice," it said.
