A light plane under the registration 5Y-CEE crashed on Monday evening, September 27, in Embulbul, Ngong Kajiado County.
On board was the pilot and a trainee student. Fortunately, both occupants escaped unhurt.
Witnesses and police officers indicated that the two had taken off from Wilson Airport for the session when the aircraft crashed.
“They were rescued and surprisingly they were both uninjured but they were flown to Nairobi for treatment,” a witness stated.
Investigations into the matter have begun to establish what exactly could have caused the unfortunate incident.
The incident came just weeks after all planes landing at Wilson Airport were diverted to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) due to bad weather.
