A private two-seater plane apparently on a training flight, crashed into a house in Lahore on Thursday, killing the pilot and co-pilot, officials said.
Police said the aircraft came down in Lahore’s Model Town but that no one on the ground was hurt. Television footage showed the mangled wreck of a small white plane marked Hybrid Aviation.
“A two-seater, private plane crashed. Two people were on board. We think one was the pilot and the second the co-pilot, both of them have died,” police official Maroof Safdar Wala told AFP.
“It crashed on a house, but the residents are safe,” he added.
Local resident Tahir Kardar, a retired colonel, told Waqt TV that the pilot and co-pilot died.
“Rescue people are here and they are trying to cut the bodies out of the plane,” he said.
