Plane crash: anger mounts Plane crashes in Angola Six die as organ plane crashes Missing SA-bound plane found

Johannesburg - Paramedics say a mother and son escaped almost unharmed when their light aircraft flipped over after an emergency landing in a field near Cullinan.

The pair had been flying around Cullinan for several hours when they were forced to make an emergency landing.

The plane was piloted by a man in his 40s, accompanied by his mother.

Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman said the aircraft flipped over onto its roof after it had taxied for about 100m along the bumpy field after a successful emergency landing.

"The plane landed upside down with the roof on the ground and its wheels in the air."

"The mom had a cut on her face but both occupants were extremely lucky to escape with minor injuries."

The plane was a write-off, he said.
