ISLAMABAD (AP) — An official says an domestic passenger plane that crashed into the hills in Pakistan’s capital was carrying 152 people.

Rescuers were trying to reach the scene of the Airblue plane crash on a rainy Wednesday morning. But the roads in the Margalla Hills area in Islamabad are difficult to navigate.

Officials at first thought it was a small plane. But police official Mohammed Saeed said later Wednesday morning that “it seems that it is a bigger tragedy.”

Civil Aviation Authority official said 146 passengers were on the flight along with six crew members.
