A Jabiru and a Cessna 182 crashed in the south-east of Sydney.
Two light aircraft collided in the air in the south-west of Sydney, Australia, on October 26. Three people were killed in the incident in the wooded area.
This was reported by 9News and the Independent.
According to NSW Police, a Cessna 182 with two people on board collided with an ultralight aircraft from a nearby airfield with one person on board. The aircraft in question were a Jabiru and a Cessna 182.
The aircraft crashed into agricultural land. Debris was scattered among the trees. The impact of the plane caused one of the planes to catch fire.
Locals rushed to help, but were unable to reach the scene due to a brush fire. The Rural Fire Service contained the flames before rescue crews could reach the wreckage.
Eventually, police, firefighters, and ambulance crews reached the two crash sites.
The cause of the plane crash has yet to be determined. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau will be handling the investigation.
“A team of investigators with experience in aircraft operations and maintenance are preparing to travel to the crash sites of both aircraft to begin evidence collection. In the coming days, investigators will map the scene, examine the wreckage of both aircraft and recover any relevant components for further examination at the ATSB's technical facilities in Canberra,” the investigator said.
By the way, at the end of September, an Mi-8 helicopter with three Russian pilots on board crashed in Pakistan.
