A devastating plane crash in central Colombia claimed the lives of six people, including popular singer Yeison Jiménez, 34. The light aircraft went down on January 10, 2026, while traveling from Paipa to Medellín, crashing in a rural area between Paipa and Duitama. Along with Jiménez, the pilot and members of his close team — including his manager and personal assistant — were killed. Emergency crews and aviation authorities quickly responded, securing the site and launching a formal investigation. The Civil Aviation Authority expressed condolences, while the government of Boyacá declared a period of mourning, honoring Jiménez as one of Colombia’s most beloved music figures.

Adding a haunting layer to the tragedy, fans revisited a television interview Jiménez gave just weeks earlier, in which he described recurring dreams of dying in a plane crash and seeing himself in the news. He even recalled dreaming of warning a pilot about mechanical problems — a chilling coincidence now tied to real events. Jiménez leaves behind his wife and three children, and tributes have poured in nationwide. The tragedy has also drawn comparisons to a recent U.S. aviation disaster that killed seven people, including former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family, as investigators in both countries search for answers.
