Plane crashes into field leaving one person injured after light aircraft plummeted
The casualty was left in the care of the ambulance service.
One person has been injured after a light aircraft crashed into a field on Monday afternoon.
Emergency services raced to Stebbing, Essex, just before 4pm on June 30. Firefighters, police officers and paramedics were all in attendance.
Responders worked together to free one casualty and secure the scene. The injured person was transferred into the care of the ambulance service.
Their condition is still unknown at this time. The fire service said an off-road vehicle was used to dampen down the ground around the plane due to the risk of it catching fire, the Mirror reports.
An image shared by the fire service shows the aircraft lying tilted to one side, with its internal workings exposed at the front, its door lying open and parts discarded on the ground.

Dear Coleen: 'Abusive mum still has big hold over my life and it's hell'
Dear Coleen My mother and I have a very strained relationship. She made my childhood hell with emotional abuse and I witnessed her hurting my dad – physical violence as well as mental abuse. I thought the world of my dad, who sadly passed away recently. I really struggle to engage with my mum, as I find being in her company and spending any time around her detrimental to my mental health. I feel so flat and down whenever I have to see her because it brings back so many bad memories. However, she is now disabled and in a care home, and I'm her only child, so I feel I have to do her shopping for her or take her to the shops once a week. She has OCD and hates people being in her space – delivery drivers or carers – but she can't deal with technology, so won't do online shopping. I feel it's my duty to do it all for her because she'll make me feel as guilty as hell if I don't. I'm a mum, so she holds that over me, too, in terms of how I'd expect my own children to treat me. I hate being in this situation – please help. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Her abusive behaviour when you were growing up means she hasn't earned it. However, the question is, can you live with it if you stop being involved and she passes away? Will you regret not getting the chance to tell her how you feel? Here's the thing, she hasn't been a great parent or role model, but you are, and you've been a good daughter, too. You're not repeating patterns from your own childhood and you should be proud of yourself for that. You've become the person who would have looked after you as a child. I understand the guilt associated with having a parent in a care home because we had to do that for my mum when her dementia meant she needed round-the-clock care. However, I think it allows you to be more in control of what you're willing to do for your mum because you know her basic needs are taken care of. It's maybe a chance to talk about what you went through and even get to a better place, but also for you to decide how involved you are. It sounds like she's dictated to you all your life, so now you can set the terms. For example, you could say you'll visit once a week but can't be there 24/7. You can still help her – but only as much as you feel you can cope with. Good luck.

Dumfries and Galloway school's environment project earns success at Scotland's Finest Wood Awards
Youngsters at Hardgate Primary transformed a wood and have been learning about the environment in a local forest. An environment project at Hardgate Primary has earned it success in the Scotland's Finest Wood Awards. The school's transformation of a nearby wood and learning in a local forest landed it the Crown Estate Scotland Schools' Trophy in the awards' schools and early years category. A pupil-led eco committee decided they needed to improve the use of Daniel's Wood and enhance its biodiversity. With the help of Dumfries and Galloway Woodlands, they planted 40 native trees – hazel and hawthorn – which created a windbreak and sitting area which offers increased shelter for their activities, including a fire circle. Work to manage the space, including cutting back canopy is continuing, with parents involved. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

There are have been weekly sessions for school classes and Dumfries and Galloway Outdoor and Woodland Learning has delivered four school and one family outdoor maths session in the woods. As well as the trophy, the school won £500, a magnifying post from Caledonia Play and a special tree pack from Alba Trees. They also received a certificate and a commemorative wooden plaque. Executive director of Scotland's Finest Woods, Jean Nairn, said: 'A love of trees, woodland and forestry in children is vital if we are going to win the fight against climate change. The little roots we see in these awards will hopefully grow strong branches as we all approach the future.'
