A light plane crashed off the coast of Brisbane, Australia, killed four, including two children, police said Sunday. According to Queensland state police, the four were killed when the plane crashed in shallow waters near Redcliffe, a bayside town in the city’s north, at 9:00 a.m. local time. Police divers eventually discovered the bodies of the 69-year-old pilot and three passengers — an adult male and two children. The passengers are yet to be identified.
It was a “tragic accident” in the lead-up to Christmas, said police inspector Craig White. Local media photographs showed the four-seater plane upside down in the water. According to preliminary accounts, the plane crashed shortly after takeoff, but authorities have ordered a complete investigation to identify the cause.
