In the German village of Korschenbroich on the lower Rhine, a small plane fell on the terrace of a residential building on Saturday. Two people were killed, as the police spokesperson confirmed in Neuss.
One of the dead was the 71-year-old pilot of the small plane. The other dead person was not yet identified, said it. The cause of the crash was initially unclear.
According to the police, three people were registered in the house, two of whom were not at home at the time of the accident. They later reported to the police. It is reasonable to assume that the missing third person is the second victim. But identity is further investigated, said a spokesperson.
House that threatens to collapse
The house threatens to collapse after the accident, the technical aid organization supported the destroyed walls. The damage is certainly in the six -figure area, the police spokesperson said.
A fire broke out on the crash site. The fire brigade was large with about 50 powers to contain the flames. On photos of the scene of the accident you could see how the back of the destroyed machine sticks out of the front garden of the house and firefighters extinguish the fire with masks of respiratory protection.
Machine came from Thuringia
According to the police, the pilot started in the morning in Alkersleben in Thuringia near Erfurt. So she already had several hundred flight kilometers behind when the accident happened. It must now be thoroughly investigated whether a technical malfunction was actually responsible. Experience has shown that such investigations into flight accidents can take months.
