Missing Plane Found
Six people were killed in a plane crash in rugged bushland in north-eastern Victoria, search authorities believe.
The wreckage of the aircraft was found 30km south-east of Benalla shortly after 5pm (AEST), Australian Search and Rescue (AusSAR) spokesman Ben Mitchell said.
A helicopter had landed at the crash site near the Morhyu Road between Willow Bank and Myrrhe and confirmed there were no survivors, the spokesman said.
"Paramedics have assessed the crash as non-survivable," he said.
The twin engine Piper Cheyenne was en route from Bankstown to Benalla when it vanished from radar screens in poor weather south-east of Wangaratta shortly after 11am (AEST).
Those aboard the aircraft included five staff from wood products company D&R Henderson and a pilot, a company spokesman said.
