Colombian authorities lost radar contact with the Bell 412 helicopter on Saturday afternoon. Two of the missing passengers were crew members, according to Caracol Radio.

Officials said the aircraft was traveling Panama-Cali, the capital of the Valle del Cauca department. Weather conditions have delayed the start of an air search. Rescue units have moved overland to the town of Trujillo, Valle del Cauca where monitoring equipment was last in touch with the helicopter. {jathumbnail off}
