Air traffic: Two dead in a plane crash in Baden-Württemberg

Two people died when a small plane crashed in the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg. "We assume that it is the owner and a passenger," said a police spokesman.

The crashed machine is a single-engine sports aircraft that started in Donzdorf (Göppingen district). A witness observed early on Saturday afternoon how the plane went into a spin and crashed into a forest. The plane caught fire, the spokesman said. Only soot-blackened remains could be seen at the crash site. The identity of the dead is to be clarified with the help of a DNA analysis.

The police spokesman was initially unable to provide any information on the cause of the crash. The Federal Office for Aircraft Accident Investigation had been turned on.
