Two planes crash in air killing 2 in New Zealand

Wellington, Jul 26: Two people were killed when two planes crashed into each other in New Zealand.

The Dominion Post reported that the planes, both Cessna 152s, dashed into each other near Feilding, 20km north of Palmerston on Monday, Jul 26.

Following the impact one plane managed to land at the Taonui Airfield, but the other crashed into a nearby field, killing two people.
