THREE people have been killed in a plane crash near Brisbane.
Paramedics took four hours to reach the remote crash site on foot after the plane plummeted 2,000ft into dense Australian bushland.
The plane reportedly plunged to the ground after running into bad weather on Monday, killing the pilot and two passengers on board.
Footage from the scene shows the mangled wreckage of the aircraft strewn across the woodland.
A wing and other debris were ripped off on impact, while the rest of the plane plunged 164ft down an embankment.
The aircraft was tracked leaving Roma in western Queensland this morning at 7.20am local time, stopping in Dalby around 9am, before taking off again fifteen minutes later, 9News reports.
