Light plane crash at Wagga Airport

Two people were taken to Wagga Base Hospital following the incident which happened at 11:30am.

The aircraft's pilot is in a serious condition with suspected spinal injuries.

Witnesses reported that the aircraft stalled while attempting to take off again following a heavy landing, causing one of its wings to hit the ground and flip the aircraft on its side.

Flights in and out of Wagga Airport have been unaffected by the accident, which occurred on the south-eastern side of the airfield.

Firefighters are working to ensure a small fuel leak remains under control.
