Two men believed to be in their fifties were left critically injured after a light aircraft crashed in a field in Bloemfontein.
ER24 said on Friday that their paramedics, as well as the Provincial EMS College Unit and Life Healthcare, responded to a distress call at approximately 1.40pm.
Spokesperson, Russel Meiring, said paramedics found the two trapped inside the wrecked aircraft.
"Once freed, paramedics assessed both men and found that they were in a critical condition."
He said one of the injured men was airlifted by a private medical helicopter to a nearby hospital while the second man was transported by ambulance.
