A small passenger plane crashed near Zweisimmen airport on Monday, April 26 at approximately 3:30 pm. The two male passengers were able to free themselves and head to safety before emergency services arrived. Their condition and the extent of their injuries are still unknown.
The fuselage was found in the Simme river, where it was carried several hundred metres downriver, and is completely unsalvageable.
Reasons for the plane’s demise remain unknown at this stage. The Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board (STSB) is currently investigating the accident.
