A light plane has crashed in a rural area of Australia’s New South Wales killing the male pilot and three children who were on board, police said.

The Cirrus SR22 took off from Canberra and crashed at about 3 p.m. local time (0400 GMT) near the town of Queanbeyan which is roughly 290 kilometres from Sydney.

Emergency services responded to reports that a plane had crashed and was in flames, with firefighters extinguishing the blaze but there were no survivors, police said.
