Two people have been taken to hospital after being involved in a light aircraft crash at Caernarfon Airport in Gwynedd.

The ambulance service said a man in his 60s sustained 'serious multiple lower limb injuries' and a child suffered head and abdominal injuries. They were taken to Gwynedd Hospital at Bangor.

It is understood North Wales Fire & Rescue crews have been working to free a third person from the plane.

A fire service spokesperson said they received reports of the incident shortly before 11.30am this morning.

They confirmed one light small aircraft, which ITV Cymru Wales understands had come from Blackpool, had flipped onto its roof during the incident.

Over 30 crew members attended the scene, with special appliances sent from Holyhead, Caernarfon, Llanberis and Pwllheli and off-road vehicles dispatched from Porthmadog and Llangefni.
