AT LEAST five people have died after a police plane crash landed into the sea in Thailand.
The aircraft was caught on camera nosediving into the water while on a test flight to prepare for parachute training, say Thai police.
Officials did not immediately share the model of the propeller plane, but photos from the scene appear to show a Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter.
The plane crashed near Hua Hin Airport, said the public relations department of Prachuab Kiri Khan province.
There were six people on board, all police officers, Archayon said.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
Archayon said officials are gathering evidence including data from the planes black box.
