A Fly Jamaica plane has made an emergency landing in Guyana and overshot the runway, according to reports, leaving passengers injured.

Dramatic images show the Boeing 757-200, which was departing for Toronto in Canada, after the crash landing.

One of its wings and the engine were torn from the fuselage.

There were 118 passengers on board, according to reports.

According to the Guyana Guardian, the plane was in the air for 18 minutes before experiencing 'technical issues' with the aircraft.
