Light aircraft crash - Upwood

Does anyone have any more details on this accident? I live in the village and was home all of Saturday (having a rest after passing my PPL skills test the day before!) - yet wasn't aware of this until I stumbled across the article this morning. It was pretty horrible weather that day - low cloud-base, strong winds, rain etc.

A LIGHT aircraft plunged 100 feet from the sky to crash in a field in Upwood on Saturday.

A Magpas Helimedix team attended the scene to treat a man in his late 60s after the crash, which happened at about 4.45pm.
The team helped to remove the man from the aircraft and then treated him before taking him to Hinchingbrooke Hospital, where his condition was described as satisfactory and stable.
