A pilot has been injured after a light plane crashed outside a rural town in Queensland.
It’s understood the aircraft crashed just off Degen Road, south of Boonah in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, just before 11am on Tuesday.
The male pilot aged in his 50s was treated at the scene before he was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.
The man was briefly trapped in the aircraft before he was rescued by crews.
A QAS spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: ‘Paramedics assessed a man in his 50s after a light aircraft crash which occurred off Degen Road at 10.52am.
‘The patient was entrapped in the aircraft but was extricated and transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition with minor soft tissue and skin tear injuries.’
Queensland Police said investigations into the crash were ongoing.
In January, two men in a light plan died after the pilot attempted to land at Boonah Airfield in Dugandan with nearby golfers alerting emergency services.
