DEMS spokesperson, William Ntladi, said the aircraft crashed near Springs Airfield, and that rescuers were called to the scene.
“Both patients were found inside the wreckage when paramedics and rescuers arrived at the scene. They were found to have sustained severe internal and visible multiple external trauma, hence they lost their lives,” Ntladi said.
