(CNN) Nine people have been killed after a plane carrying skydivers crashed near the runway at Orebro airport in Sweden. "There were no lives to save" when the rescue service arrived at the accident site, fire chief Per-Ove Staberyd told reporters on Friday. According to CNN affiliate Expressen, Peter Swaffer of the Accident Investigation Board said the plane had problems early in its flight. "It happened at a very early stage at the start, so it [the plane] never came up very high," he said. The police did not confirm to CNN what model of aircraft was involved, but local media reports said it was a DHC-2 Turbo Beaver.
