A small plane which was reportedly missing due to bad weather in Mexico has been found with none of the 13 passengers and one pilot onboard surviving.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the Cessna Caravan branded plane crashed in the north-western Baja California Sur state due to bad weather caused by Tropical Storm Octave.

The plane which started its journey in the resort of Los Cabos, in the southern tip of the peninsula disappeared shortly after leaving Loreto.

Also, efforts of rescue team searching for the plane were hampered by the tropical storm.

The wreckage was spotted by a helicopter that could not land because of the weather.

Seven states declared a state of alert ahead of the storm, which weakened and made landfall on Tuesday.

More than 100 people died in Mexico last month as a result of Tropical Storms Manuel and Ingrid.
