Langenhahn (dpa) - A small plane crashed into the roof of a house in Langenhahn in the Westerwald district. The pilot was injured and was hospitalized, a police spokesman said.
The two residents of the house were therefore able to leave it unharmed. According to the police, the plane was only occupied by the pilot. Emergency services from the fire brigade and technical relief organization were on site in the evening.
According to initial knowledge, the pilot touched a power line. This triggered a power cut, which, according to the police, affected a large part of the Westerwald on the outskirts. An estimated 50,000 people are affected. The power supply should slowly be restored in the evening. Why the single-engine small plane crashed was initially unclear.
