 Several U.S. citizens were among 10 people who died in a car crash and subsequent fire on the southwestern coast of Mexico near tourist hot spot Acapulco, the U.S. State Department said on Sunday.

Two other were injured in the accident late Friday, when two cars and a motorcycle collided on the highway between Acapulco and beach city Zihuatanejo in the state of Guerrero, Mexico's civil protection agency said.

A 1-year-old and 4-year-old were killed in the accident, along with others ranging in age from 26 to 76, Guerrero's civil protection agency said. The injured survivors are ages 8 and 18.

A U.S. State Department official said U.S. citizens were among the injured but had no other details.

So, two weeks ago, from 5 up to 7 or 8 American tourists died on the tropical east coast of Mexico, Quintana Roo. Then, we had this fellow the other day, killed in Guerrero. This crash was in Guerrero.

It appears we may not have the numbers in the crash in this accident.

by Tim Stelloh and Ali Gostanian

A private plane with 10 U.S. passengers and two crew members died after their plane crashed in Costa Rica on Sunday, officials said.

Costa Rica's president, Luis Guillermo Solís, said an investigation would begin Monday into what caused the aircraft to go down shortly after 12 p.m (1 p.m. ET) in Guanacaste, a province in the country's northwestern corner popular with international tourists.

Guillermo Solís didn't identify the victims. He said the plane belonged to a Costa Rican airline, Nature Air.
