Three people have been killed after a light plane crashed west of Brisbane.
The aeroplane crashed in a remote area near Lowood, located about an hour west of Brisbane, Queensland's Capital. Paramedics reportedly struggled to get to the scene and were forced to travel to the accident site on foot.
The aircraft ran into hazardous weather and dropped out of the sky from 2,000 feet to 500 feet in a few seconds.
Airline tracking website showed the aircraft leaving Roma (RMA/YROM) in western Queensland this morning at 7.20am, before stopping in Dalby (DBY/YDAY) at approximately 9am.
The plane then took off again from Dalby fifteen minutes later, at 9.15am losing connection with air traffic support 52 minutes later near Ipswich at 10.07am.
