A man, approximately 70 years old, died and another man, 33, was moderately injured Friday morning when a light aircraft crashed in the Wadi Ara region. The injured man sustained burns and was evacuated to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. A fire broke out at the crash site and began spreading toward homes in Kafr Qara before being extinguished. The aircraft was completely destroyed. Fire services stated the plane was a light aircraft engaged in a training flight. The incident was reported to MDA's Sharon region emergency services at 9:12 AM.
