MELBOURNE, Feb 19 — Four people were killed in a mid-air collision between two light planes in Australia today, scattering debris across a rural area north of Melbourne.
Police said the two twin-engined aircraft were each carrying a pilot and a passenger when they crashed around 1,200 metres above the town of Mangalore. Images from the crash scene on the ground showed twisted metal and chunks of fuselage scattered in a field and among trees.“We're not sure why both aircraft were exactly on the same trajectory or why they were in that area but unfortunately they have collided mid-air,” Police Inspector Peter Koger said.
One aircraft had just taken off from the nearby airfield but the other plane's origin was still unclear, he added. — AFP
