Five people have been killed in a minor plane crash in Poland. Five others were injured, a spokeswoman for the fire service told PAP news agency on Monday. The Cessna 208 machine crashed into a hangar on approach to Chrcynno sports airport north of the capital Warsaw. A group of people had just sought shelter from an approaching storm. Four of them died. One of the pilots was also killed.
“It is common knowledge that anyone who knows a storm is coming goes to a safe place”the spokeswoman added. “Unfortunately, this hangar turned out not to be one.” According to Polish media reports, the plane was mainly used for parachute jumps. There were three crew members on board at the time of the accident, the spokeswoman for the fire service said. So passengers were not in the machine.
Most of the dead and injured are people who took shelter in the hangar. At first there was no further information about the identity. The fire service believes that bad weather conditions were the cause of the accident. (saw/sda/dpa)
