A small plane has crashed south of Melbourne, killing a man and injuring a young child.
Police and paramedics were called around 5.25pm on Sunday on reports of an aircraft incident on Seaview Road in Tyabb, not far from a local airport.
One man died at the scene while a little girl has been airlifted to hospital in a critical condition, a police spokeswoman said.
There are unconfirmed reports the light plane either clipped or struck a house when it came down in the area.
A woman who answered the phone at Peninsula Aero Club, which operates out of Tyabb Airport, said she was not aware of what had happened and the club was still trying to get more details.
Firefighters have been called in to help, but the crash did not spark a fire, a CFA spokeswoman said.
