From the Adelaide Advertiser:

Two killed in fiery crash-landing

TWO people have now been confirmed dead after a plane crash-landed and burst into flames in regional Queensland this morning.
Around 7.40am (AEST), a single-engine plane crash-landed into a sports field adjacent to Mundubbera airport, about 200km west of Maryborough.

It was engulfed in fire upon impact, claiming the life of the pilot and another occupant.

An emergency services spokeswoman said there were explosions from the plane that set alight nearby grassland.

Fire fighters have brought the blaze under control and are working to make the area safe.

It is believed the airport has been shut down and additional police are on their way to the scene from Maryborough.
