A twin-propeller plane carrying crew from a Tom Cruise movie set crashed Friday, September 11, in foggy conditions in the mountains near San Pedro de los Milagros, Colombia.

Killed in the plane crash were prominent Hollywood stunt pilot Alan D. Purwin and Carlos Brel, according to Colombia's Civil Aviation Authority.

Investigators work through the wreckage of the Aerostar Piper 60, which was owned by Helinet Aviation. Pilot Purwin was chairman of that firm.

The plane departed the Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellin, and the last contact was 3:22 p.m. local time Friday, according to Colombian authorities.

The only person to survive the crash was Jimmy Lee Garland, who suffered injuries to his legs, arms, face and chest.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash. This photo shows the inside of the cockpit.

The plane could fit up to eight passengers, authorities said. Pilot Purwin had shot dramatic aerial footage for TV and films since 1984 when he worked on the series "Airwolf."

Purwin appeared in cameo roles as a pilot in many productions including "Jurassic World," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Indecent Proposal." This photo shows the severity of damage to the plane's nose in the crash that killed Purwin and another occupant.
