A passenger aircraft has crashed into Lake Victoria in Tanzania on Sunday morning.

The lake which is regarded as Africa’s largest by area, is situated near the Bukoba airport in the capital of the Kagera Region.

The Precision Air plane crash was about to land when it went down due to bad weather.

The flight was coming from Dar es Salaam, the country’s largest city.

Reports say about 49 passengers were on board; fatalities remain undetermined.

Kagera provincial police commander William Mwampaghale said the situation was under control.

“Those who have been rescued have been taken to our referral hospital”, the officer disclosed.
