BREAKING: American plane crashed in Hungary, two people died – VIDEO, PHOTOS

Two people were killed when a plane crashed at an air show in Székesfehérvár, in central Hungary, on Sunday.

American aircraft downed

The circumstances of the accident are as yet unknown, the communications centre of the Székesfehérvár local council told MTI, adding that firefighters and ambulance crews were at the scene. Organisers have suspended the show’s remaining events. According to press reports, the plane, a Trojan aircraft, exploded when it hit the ground, killing both people on board.

Pál Győrfi, the spokesman of the National Ambulance Service, told MTI that two people died on the spot in the accident and four people suffered burns. Ambulance personnel on-site at the time of the accident started treating the injured and later on three rescue helicopters and several other ambulances arrived. According to Népszava, a 67-year-old father and his 37-year-old son died in the tragedy. The type of the plane was Trojan, a sport aircraft that was built in the United States. Here is a video of the plane performing on the Szeged air show in 2022:

Four additional people were injured in the tragic accident

Three seriously injured — a little girl, a woman and a man — were transported by helicopter to hospitals in Budapest and a boy with less serious injuries was taken to a hospital in Székesfehérvár by ambulance, Győrfi said. That is because the plane crashed near a family car in which the three sat at that time. Here are two photos:

An expert, László Madas, told RTL News that the accident was probably caused by human error. Zsolt Mezei, the DK deputy mayor of nearby Dunaújváros said in a Facebook post that he knew the victims. “God may give your rest, Vilmos Rózsavölgyi and Árpád Rózsavölgyi”, he wrote.
