Quote:No survivors after light plane crashes in paddock near Mount Gambier
A pilot and two passengers have died when a light aircraft crashed just north of Mount Gambier in South Australia's south-east.
The plane crashed into a paddock near the intersection of Walker and Sunnybrae roads, in Suttontown, just before 10:30am.
Police said there were no survivors.
The wreckage of the aircraft was smouldering when emergency crews first arrived.
The Country Fire Service said the plane was extensively damaged.
There was thick fog around the area before the crash delaying Mount Gambier flights from Adelaide and Melbourne.
Four Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigators are on their way to Mount Gambier to help local investigators.
"The team will be examining the site and wreckage, gathering any recorded data and interviewing any witnesses," the ATSB said in a statement.
The ATSB said the plane involved was a TB10 Tobago.
Walker Road remains closed to traffic between Hinton Road and Sunnybrae Road.
