A small plane flying in blizzard-like conditions crashed shortly after takeoff on Saturday in South Dakota, killing nine people, including two children, the authorities said.
Three people survived the crash, which happened just before noon local time outside Chamberlain, S.D., according to information from local officials and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The condition of the survivors, who officials said were transported to hospitals in Sioux Falls, S.D., about two hours east, was not immediately available.
The Pilatus PC-12, a single-engine turboprop, had been traveling from Chamberlain to Idaho Falls Regional Airport when the crash occurred, an F.A.A. spokeswoman said.
