Villagers shocked by Ongar plane crash that killed two people

A plane crash that killed two people has been shocking and traumatising for people living near the scene, a minister has said.

The victims were on a 30-minute flight experience which plummeted into a field in High Ongar, Essex, at 12:30 BST on Tuesday.

The light aircraft, a two-seat Cessna, had set off from nearby North Weald Airfield eight minutes earlier.

Katherine Garner, a lay minister at St Mary’s Church in the village, said: “It’s a shock. It’s a trauma for people when something dramatic like this happens.”

Investigators have been trying to piece together how the crash happened and are yet to formally identify the victims.

Police have warned that the process will be “complex”, and investigators are expected to remain at the scene off Mill Road for several days.
