NTSB to probe cargo jet crash in Mexico

SALTILLO, Mexico (UPI) -- U.S. transportation investigators are assisting Mexican authorities in determining what caused a cargo jet to crash, killing a U.S. pilot.

The co-pilot was severely burned in the crash west of Monterrey, Mexico, CNN reported Monday. No other injuries were reported.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it sent a team of investigators to help the Mexican government in its probe of Sunday's accident.

The jet, which was carrying auto parts, was near the airport grounds in Saltillo, Mexico, in clear weather when the crash occurred, said Donald McNeff, vice president of USA Jet Airlines.
