Two men have died after a light plane crashed at the entrance of a golf course.
The light aircraft crashed on Bruckner Hill Road at the Boonah Golf Club, at Dugandan in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, at 11.57am on Sunday.
No mayday call was made from the plane, police believe.
Details like the men’s ages and the experience of the pilot are yet to be confirmed.
Acting Inspector Kerry Olsen said the pilot had appeared to be attempting to land at Boonah Airfield when the plane went down.
She said the scene would have been ‘absolutely’ confronting for first responders.
‘Tragically, two people have lost their lives as a result of that crash. Emergency services are still on the scene,’ she said on Sunday.
