Tuntenhausen: Plane crashes - two upper Bavarians are seriously injured
At around 4:20 p.m., the operations center received calls saying that a plane had crashed near Tuntenhausen in an undeveloped area.
The police said in a press release.
Shortly thereafter, the police found at the scene of the accident that it was a light aircraft manufactured by Zlin Aviation, model Savage.
The co-pilot, an 80-year-old man from the Miesbach district, had already been freed from the wreck.
The pilot, a 61-year-old from the Ebersberg district, was still trapped in the plane.
He had to be freed by firefighters.
Both were seriously injured and taken to hospitals by rescue helicopters.
Kripo investigates after plane crash in Tuntenhausen
On behalf of the criminal police, officers from the permanent criminal investigation service (KDD) carried out the first investigations into the cause of the accident at the scene of the accident.
They were assisted by an expert.
The Kripo Rosenheim is leading the further investigations.
"So far, the officials have known that the two men with the light aircraft had presumably taken off from the Antersberg airfield (Tuntenhausen municipality)," said the police.
The Kripo Rosenheim is now also asking for witnesses:
Who made observations yesterday Wednesday afternoon that could be related to the plane accident?
Who may have seen the light aircraft in the air at takeoff or after?
