Three people died have died in a plane crash in bushland near Lake Wivenhoe, west of Brisbane.
The Cessna aircraft was reported missing after failing to return from a flight on Monday, police confirmed. A search was launched after the plane was confirmed to be overdue.
“The aircraft departed Dalby at 10am and was due to land at Archerfield at 2pm,” Queensland police said on Monday night.
“The aircraft was located [at Fernvale] during an aerial search and all three occupants were pronounced deceased at the scene.”
The plane was initially tracked leaving Roma in western Queensland.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesperson said an investigation into the crash was under way.
“The ATSB expects to deploy a team of transport safety investigators from its Brisbane office, with expertise in engineering, aircraft operations and maintenance, to the accident site on Tuesday,” the spokesperson said.
