It has been confirmed that one of the two men who were on board a small private aircraft that crashed in the Georgetown area of St. Vincent & the Grenadines (SVG) on Monday is a St. Lucian national.
Wayne McDiarmed of Saint Lucia is in stable condition.
SVG police have identified the men on board the Cessna C-337 Skymaster as pilot Wayne McDiarmed of St. Lucia and co-pilot Marvin Fabian Peka of Grenada.
Both men are reportedly in stable condition at Milton Cato Memorial Hospital after they were transferred from the Georgetown Hospital.
Security officer at the Langley Park airstrip, Leon Yearwood, who witnessed the crash, told St. Vincent media that the plane was at a good height but seemed to have lost power and was gliding by the winds. He said it then clipped some “Mollet” trees before crashing onto the farm land owned by Ernestine Medica of Langley Park, Georgetown.
Caribbean News Service (CNS) reported that the plane was travelling from St. Lucia to Carriacou when it crashed in Georgetown which is on the windward side of St. Vincent.
Two investigators from the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority visited the crash site.
