Two people were today declared dead this is after the light aircraft they were traveling in crashed in
It is believed that the aircraft went
missing shortly after taking off in Pietermaritzburg and ER24 together with the
Pietermaritzburg SAP K9 Search and Rescue Unit embarked on a search for the
aircraft.
Late last night the search was called off
due to poor visibility and rain.
ER24 Spokesperson Werner Vermaak said the
search commenced this morning and an aircraft which went over the area noticed
the crashed aircraft and radio the information through.
Vermaak added that 45km outside
Pietermaritzburg in a sugarcane field paramedics found the wreckage, and when
paramedics arrived they found that two people were trapped in the aircraft and
they sustained fatally injuries and were declared dead on the scene.
