A person is dead and another has been flown to hospital with serious burns after a light plane crashed in a paddock in NSW’s Hunter Valley. A NSW Ambulance spokesman said two people were on board the aircraft which is believed to have gone down in Goorangoola, about 50km east of Muswellbrook.
It is believed the aircraft was a gyrocopter. Five ambulance crews and the Westpac rescue helicopter were dispatched to the scene.
NSW Ambulance then confirmed via social media that a person had died.
“One person has tragically died in the accident. A second person is being transported to Royal North Shore Hospital by the @WRHS_official with serious burns,” the tweet read.
The airlifted person’s condition is not yet known however it is believed the burns are severe and require attention at Royal North Shore Hospital’s burns unit.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE DECEASED AND WE WISH THE SECOND MAN A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
