Austrian Social Affairs Minister Alfred Dallinger was one of 11 people killed in the crash of a twin-engine plane into Lake Constance near the Swiss-Austrian border. The plane, a Commander AC 90, belonging to an Austrian air company, was on an internal flight from Vienna to the province of Vorarlberg, carrying nine passengers and a crew of two. Police said the plane crashed after the pilot aborted an approach to the airport at Hohenems because of fog and tried to fly over Lake Constance to Alterhein in Switzerland. The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
