(PARYS – 18 December 2011)
Two people miraculously escaped from serious injuries when the light aircraft they were traveling in crash landed in an open field between Parys and Kroonstad this morning.
Paramedics from ER24 that arrived on the scene found the wreckage in the field with a man believed to be in his 40’s and his 13 year old girl. Upon assessment paramedics found that the man only sustained minor injuries to his leg. He later declined to go to hospital. The 13 year old girl was treated on the scene for possible back injuries and transported to Mediclinic Potchefstroom for further medical management.
The cause for the crash is not yet known and will be investigated.
