Mombasa bound Silverstone Air plane has crashed earlier Friday morning from its takeoff at Wilson Airport, Nairobi.

The plane that was heading to Lamu via Mombasa geared off the runway and crushed metres from the airport.

Several passengers were rushed to various city hospitals after sustaining injuries in the 9 am incident.

The aircraft was heading to Lamu, according to airport officials.

A communications representative from Silverstone says that one of the plane’s engines failed, resulting in the accident.

The Kenya Red Cross has tweeted, saying the plane “developed a technical glitch while taking off”.

Rescue operations are underway.
