Buenos Aires : A flight instructor and his student were killed when the aircraft in which they were travelling crashed in the Corrientes province for unknown reasons, the EFE news agency reported.

The accident occurred Friday in the town of Mercedes, some 1,000 km north of Buenos Aires, when their aircraft plunged into a field, just meters away from a ranch.

The victims were identified as Reinaldo Gallo, 47, and Mario Valentin de la Rosa, who was accompanying his instructor on a training flight.

The police said the accident could have due to a mechanical flaw, although the exact cause for the crash would be analysed soon.
