MADRID — A small plane and a helicopter crashed midair on the Spanish island of Majorca on Sunday, killing seven people.

The crash took place around lunchtime near the inland town of Inca.

After colliding, the plane and the helicopter fell into a neighborhood and the plane caught fire after hitting the ground, but nobody was reported injured. Residents helped put out the flames.

Francina Armengol, the president of the regional government of the Balearic Islands, told reporters that it was “too early” to discuss the reasons for the crash.

The helicopter and the plane collided below 1,000 feet, out of the range monitored by the island’s air traffic controllers, according to Diario de Mallorca, a local newspaper.
