Two taken to hospital after plane crashes at country estate

Two people have been taken to hospital after a plane crashed at a country estate.

Emergency services, including the air ambulance, were called to Heveningham Hall, near Halesworth, at about 1.15pm on Sunday.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said a two-seater plane crashed.

The East of England Ambulance Service sent the East Anglian Air Ambulance, an East Anglian Air Ambulance response car, two ambulances, a critical care response vehicle and an ambulance officer vehicle.

A man and a woman were taken to Ipswich Hospital by land ambulance with minor injuries.

The crash comes just days after an Air Accident Investigations Branch report was published following a plane crash which also happened at Heveningham Hall in July last year.

The report found that the aircraft's landing gear "dug into" a softer sub-soil after touching down before flipping over forwards and ending upside down.

The crash also comes after emergency services were called to a light aircraft crash near Beccles on Saturday.

Emergency services were called to North Cove airfield off Brock Road at about 11.30am on Saturday.

Four people were left in the care of the East of England Ambulance Service.
