A private jet crashed into a residential area in Argentina on Wednesday, killing the pilot and co-pilot.

The plane hit a house and caught fire near San Fernando airport, in a northern district of the capital of Buenos Aires.

A 73-year-old man, who owned the house, has also been taken to hospital. More casualties have not been ruled out, according to reports.

Reports suggest the family-owned Challenger 300, a mid-sized business jet, lost control as it came in to land at around 1.20pm local time and overshot the runway.
