Australia — A man has been killed after his light plane crashed into a paddock in Sydney’s southwest.
The two-seater plane crashed into a paddock off Vicar Park Lane in Luddenham just before 4.30pm (AEST), killing the male pilot, NRMA Careflight said.
“It was small airplane, a little two-seater,” Careflight spokesman Ian Badham said.
“There was one male occupant, and the male occupant is deceased.”
The Rural Fire Service (RFS) said firefighters had been sent to the crash.
“There was a small grass fire that started from this crash,” RFS spokeswoman Rebel Talbert told Macquarie radio.
“But at this stage it appears that this has been completely contained.”
