Five people were killed when an amphibious plane hit a bridge in Shanghai on Wednesday.

The plane carrying 10 people was on its maiden flight from Shanghai's Jinshan District to Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, when it hit the bridge around midday.

The five fatalities died in hospital. One person with serious injuries is undergoing surgery.

The plane is owned by an affiliate of the Aviation Industry Corp. of China.

It’s the first amphibious plane operator approved to carry passengers in east China.
