Atlántico Police commander, colonel John Urrea, told reporters that first responders were unable to reach the crash site in a timely manner due to thunderstorms in the area.

Authorities have not said what caused the plane crash.
Marín, who also taught at a university, was known for flying regularly in the northwestern Colombia province of Atlántico near the Caribbean Sea.
He escaped death in January 2021 when the small aircraft he was flying crashed into a residence in the municipality of Copacabana, 13 miles north of Medellín.
Marín was joined by a copilot for a flight in the Valley of Aburrá after taking off from Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellín.

Marín was instructed to ascend the aircraft to 6,500 feet to prepare to land at the airport. He lost control of the plane and slammed into the roof of a home.
'I have had several of these situations and I believe that the one on the plane is the least serious because I was always conscious,' Marín told Noticias Caracol following the crash. 'But yes, statistics say that I was born again is an opportunity that life gives me.'
