Two men rescued following aircraft crash

Two men have been rescued after their light aircraft crashed. 

Crews were called by the Ambulance Service after the aircraft crashed into a field in Stebbing. 

On arrival firefighters reported that one of the men was trapped inside the aircraft and worked to release him. 

Incident Commander Scott Meekings said:

"When we arrived the aircraft was upside down.

"There was a real risk of a fire starting due to the engine and fuel, but thankfully this didn't happen.

"The rescue efforts were a multi-agency response and, incredibly, the men only suffered minor injuries. It's the best outcome we could have hoped for."
