A man was killed this morning when his light aircraft crashed in a game reserve in the Herbersdale area near Mossel Bay.
ER24 paramedics, along with Fire Services, arrived on the scene to find the wrecked aircraft in the bushes.
ER 24's Russel Meiring says a trail of debris had been left from where the plane crashed into the ground and had slid for some distance.
Paramedics searched the area and found the pilots body lying some distance away from the aircraft.
"Unfortunately, the pilot had already succumbed to his multiple fatal injuries. Nothing more could be done for the patient and he was declared dead on scene" Meiring said.
Civil Aviation will investigate the cause of the crash.
