India says air ambulance with seven on board crashed in Jharkhand state

Feb 23 (Reuters) - India's aviation regulator said late on Monday a Beechcraft air ambulance crashed in the eastern state of Jharkhand with seven people on board, including two crew members.

The Beechcraft C90 plane, operated by Redbird Airways, took off from Ranchi in Jharkhand at 19:11 p.m. (1341 GMT) before requesting for deviation due to weather and subsequently losing communication and RADAR contact, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said in a statement.

A search and rescue team is at the location and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is being dispatched for investigation, the DGCA said. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties in the incident.
