Russian Plane Crashes Into Road Outside Moscow.


Russian plane 'crashes into road outside Moscow'
A Russian passenger plane has crashed into a main road outside Moscow, reports say.
Russian state television says the plane overshot the runway after landing. Officials said up to 12 people were on board and that no-one was killed.
Details are still emerging, but images of the scene on Twitter appear to show a badly-damaged aircraft lying in several pieces across a major road.

Some reports say the aircraft caught fire.

The incident is said to have taken place at Moscow's Vnukovo airport.

The images on Twitter show a plane bearing the Red Wings airlines livery, with the tail and cockpit broken off but the fuselage largely intact.

There are fire engines at the scene and smoke can be seen rising from the wreckage.

Unconfirmed reports say the plane had arrived from the Czech Republic with about eight passengers and four crew on board.

The plane was reported to be a Tupolev-204.
