 A pilot and 11 others were killed when a plane taking people on a skydiving outing in Missouri crashed in a field and caught fire.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says troopers assisted police and sheriff's officials at the crash site Sunday near a local airport in Butler, some 65 miles south of Kansas City.

Missouri Highway Patrol Sargent Justin Ewing said the plane was taking people up to skydive when it plunged into a field and was engulfed in flames.

Teams from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were en route to the crash site to investigate.
