Police in Fiji confirmed Friday three people, including two Canadian tourists, had been killed in a plane crash.

 

The crash happened on a mountain near Lautoka Thursday afternoon.

 

The police spokesperson, Inspector Ranga Gounders, said the four-seater Cessna lost contact with air traffic control shortly before it crashed.

 

Ganders said due to bad weather and fog, it was impossible to remove the bodies Thursday night.

 

He said a police investigation will continue Friday.
