Pilot killed in light plane crash north of Brisbane

A pilot has been killed in a light plane crash in remote wetlands north of Brisbane.
Authorities originally received a distress signal from the aircraft around 10am today just off Bribie Island before the aircraft was detected descending rapidly.
Wreckage of the aircraft was found around 11am on the banks of the Pumicestone Passage with the body of a single passenger, the aircraft's pilot.



Rescue crews have now been winched down onto the mudflats to attempt to retrieve the man's body and the aircraft's wreckage.
Wet weather conditions and a rising tide have made retrieval efforts challenging.
Investigations are continuing into what caused the crash.

There's a little more in the video, but I don't know how to link that here..
