A passenger plane has crashed at an airport in Wau, South Sudan, with local reports saying injured people have been rushed to hospital. At least four passengers were injured when their plane struck a fire truck at an airport in Wau, South Sudan.
“No one died, but there are a number of injured people right now,” one of the local aid workers near the crash scene told Reuters. Bad weather reportedly caused the South Supreme Airlines plane to crash into the vehicle upon landing on Monday, subsequently bursting into flames.
Little is known of the cause of the crash and the exact number of injuries has not been confirmed so far. "The aircraft landed safe... but because of bad weather, the plane missed the line and hit a truck belonging to the fire brigade," Gabriel Ngang Maduok, a station manager with the carrier told Reuters.
