At least 47 people have killed in a domestic TransAsia Airways plane crash on landing on an island off the west coast of typhoon-hit Taiwan on Wednesday.
The plane, a 70-seat turboprop ATR 72, crashed near the runway with 54 passengers and four crew on board, it said.
"It’s chaotic on the scene," director Jean Shen told Reuters.
Eleven injured people had been taken to hospital, the government said.
The accident happened on one of the Penghu islands, also known as the Pescadores.
No more details were immediately available.
Typhoon Matmo slammed into Taiwan on Wednesday with heavy rains and strong winds, shutting financial markets and schools.
Apart from Wednesday's event, Taiwan's aviation safety council says Transasia has had a total of 8 incidents since 2002, including 6 involving the ATR 72.
