The media are notorious for being wildly inaccurate with their aviation-related information - and virtually no media people are working on a Saturday night.
"Adelaide Now" initially reported it as an "ultralight crash". God give us strength, they wouldn't know an aircraft from a parachute.
There's confusion with the SAPOL reporting that RA-Aus will be investigating, but my pilot source generally knows what he's talking about.
I think you need a new source.
