Two men suffered non life-threatening injuries when their light
aircraft crash-landed in a wheat field shortly after take-off. One of the two
casualties was trapped in the plane after it came down close to Otherton
Airfield, near Penkridge in Staffordshire, at around 3.45pm on Tuesday.
Two
ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford
were sent to the scene. A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said:
‘On arrival, ambulance staff found a small aeroplane that had crash-landed in a
field. ‘Thankfully it had remained the right way up, though it had suffered
considerable damage. ‘One of the occupants was trapped and had to be assisted
out by ambulance staff and firefighters. ‘The two men, who were both in their
60s, were taken by land ambulance to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton with
injuries not thought to be life-threatening.’
