A light aircraft crashed in Grasmere on Sunday morning, killing its two occupants, Gauteng police said.
The plane crashed at 8.40am. It is believed that it was attempting to land, said Senior Superintendent Noxolo Kweza.
The plane was owned by Northwest Aviation.
Kweza declined to comment further, citing an investigation by the Civilian Aviation Authority (CAA). The CAA was not immediately available for comment.
However, the South African Broadcasting Corporation has reported that the plane crashed after failing to pull out of a dive. It collided with the ground, propeller-first. — Sapa
