A man has died while a boy and another man are fighting for their lives after a light aircraft crashed on the approach to an airport runway in Wales.
The victim, who was a passenger in the plane, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident at Caernarfon Airport.
A second man, in his 60s, suffered “serious multiple lower limb injuries” and a boy received head and abdomen injuries, according to the Welsh Ambulance Service.
Both were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor where their conditions are described as critical.
All three people in the plane – reported to be an eight-seater Piper Cherokee – were from the same family in Lancashire.
Emergency services were called to the airport on Sunday after it is thought the plane flipped over on the runway.
Chief Inspector Darren Wareing said: “An investigation is ongoing and we are appealing to anyone who witnessed the plane as it approached the runway of Caernarfon Airport to contact police.”
Photographer Richard Birch told the Wales Online website: “The plane was upside down. It had gone through the runway and crashed into some gorse bushes.”
