TEGUCIGALPA , Honduras ( CNN ) -- Five people died and more than 80 were injured when a commercial airliner overshot the runway into an adjoining street , crushing three vehicles and splitting into three sections before resting a few feet from a house , officials said . A television image shows the Grupo TACA plane lying in a neighborhood in Tegucigalpa , Honduras . Grupo Taca Airlines Flight No . 390 was traveling from San Salvador to Tegucigalpa with 135 people -- 124 passengers , two pilots , four flight attendants and five crew members who were being repositioned . The Airbus A-320 landed at Toncontin International Airport amid high winds and low visibility at at 9:45 a.m. ( 11:45 a.m . ET ) , a Taca spokeswoman said . In traveling 300 meters beyond the runway , the jet 's cockpit was badly damaged and its fuel tank was breached . Though jet fuel flowed across the pavement , it did not ignite . Emergency workers covered the area and many of the passengers with foam . Among the fatalities were the pilot ; passenger Harry Brautigam , president of the Central American Bank for Economic Integration , who suffered a heart attack ; and a taxi driver whose vehicle was struck by the jetliner . Watch the site of the crash » . Earlier reports that seven people had died were erroneous , Honduran officials said Saturday . The passengers included one from the United States , three from Colombia , three from Nicaragua and the rest from Honduras and El Salvador , Taca reported . President Manuel Zelaya told CNN en Espanol that he spoke with a friend who was a passenger on the flight . The man told him that the passengers applauded when the pilot landed . That is not unusual , because the airport is in a valley , and the approach can be difficult , he said . But when the plane did not stop at the end of the runway , emergency personnel snapped into action , Zelaya said . Firefighters were at the door within 20 seconds , and they quickly doused a fire that had broken out in one of the motors , avoiding a worse disaster , he said . As a result of the wreck , landings at Toncontin will be rerouted to an airport 45 minutes from Tegucigalpa for all planes except those with 42 passengers or fewer , Zelaya said . The other airport has longer runways , and Zelaya predicted that hangars could be prepared and immigration facilities readied within two weeks . A tropical depression -- a remnant of a tropical storm that hit nearby Nicaragua a day earlier , hung over the city on Friday , said CNN meteorologist Guillermo Arduino . But it was not raining when the plane touched down , and Zelaya said weather did not appear to have played a role in the accident . Toncontin was closed after the accident , but authorities were planning to reopen it during the weekend . The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board was sending two investigators to the site , as is the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration , to help the governments of Honduras and El Salvador in their investigation . In addition , International Aero Engines and the BEA of France were each sending an investigator . CNN 's Layla Banegas contributed to this story .
