German small plane crashes near Pula
When a small plane crashed over the Croatian peninsula of Istria, all four people on board were killed. This is reported by Croatian media, citing the police.
It was said that the small Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft went into a spin for unknown reasons and crashed near the city of Pula. It was registered in Germany and departed from Austria.
According to the Croatian portal index.hr, the plane was on approach to land. “I spoke to eyewitnesses who watched the plane land. The plane initially flew horizontally and then suddenly went into a spiral dive before hitting the ground. There was no explosion, just a dull impact,” a TV journalist told the portal.
The authorities have not yet released any information about the identity or citizenship of the victims. (jve)
