The sole occupants of two light aircraft have died after crashing into a paddock, as Queensland police investigate whether they collided mid-air.
Emergency crews responded to the incident involving a glider and another light aircraft at Kybong, near Gympie, at about 3pm on Wednesday.
“We’ve got two scenes in a paddock nearby, they are approximately 200 metres apart and spread across a bit of a distance,” Queensland Police Inspector Brad Inskip said on Wednesday.
“This is a tragic incident, and quite a graphic scene left there for all the emergency services.”
The glider left from a local gliding club, but it’s unknown where the ultralight aircraft came from.
“It’s a terrible scene, terrible incident, terrible for the family and obviously those involved,” Insp Inskip said.
“It’s a small little regional gliding club, they all know each other, so this is going to hit the community very hard.”
Emergency services have now left and Queensland police remain on scene.
