YAOUNDE, May 12 (Xinhua) -- There is no survivor found after a small plane carrying 11 people crashed in a forest in Cameroon's Centre region on Wednesday, according to official media CRTV.

       After the search and rescue operation deployed by the prefect of Upper Sanaga division in the Centre region, Albert Nanga, no survivor was found at the Bibey subdivision, CRTV said on Twitter Thursday evening.
