Two people have died following a light aircraft crash in north Wales, UK.

Axar.az reports, citing BBC, that the aircraft was found in a remote location close to Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, with the two people on board pronounced dead at the scene, North Wales Police said.

The force received reports shortly after 12:00 BST that a light aircraft travelling from an airfield in England had not arrived at Caernarfon Airport as scheduled.

Multi-agency air and ground searches were carried out until the aircraft was found.

A team of investigators have since been deployed by the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB).
