A small plane carrying three people, including a baby, crashed in the Swiss Alps, killing all on board.

The doomed flight took off Sunday morning from western Switzerland and was headed for Italy before the fatal crash, police said.

An hour and a half into the flight, the plane went down in the Simplon Pass area and burst into flames, officials said.

The bodies of the pilot, passenger and baby were recovered from the wreckage, the Independent reported. The victims have yet to be identified.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
