A small medical plane crashed in a mountain range outside Ruidoso, New Mexico, before dawn on Thursday, killing all four people aboard, authorities said. The crash also triggered a wildfire that had spread to 14 hectares by midday amid dry and windy conditions. Local agencies and the US Forest Service are working to contain the blaze.
