Woman dies in ultralight plane crash

A woman has died in an ultralight plane crash in central Queensland.
The crash occurred at the Tartrus Station airfield, Marlborough, northwest of
Rockhampton, about 2.45pm (AEST) on Sunday, a Department of Community Safety
spokesman said.
The plane's female passenger, whose age is not yet known, died before emergency
services arrived on the scene, he said.
The 19-year-old male pilot, who was the only other person onboard, managed to walk
away from the wreckage.
He has been transported to Rockhampton Base Hospital to be treated for an arm
laceration.
Police said the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Australian Transport Safety
Bureau had been advised and investigations were continuing.
