Three killed in Queensland light plane crash

Three people have been killed after a light plane crashed west of Brisbane.

The airplane landed in a remote area near Lowood, a 60-minute drive west of Queensland's capital.

Due to the nature of the area, paramedics have struggled to get on scene, approaching the wreckage by foot.
