Plane crash at South Island golf course - New Zealand.

CRASH SCENE: Emergency services at the site of the crash on the Arrowtown Golf Course.


LATEST: A Cessna has broken in half after crashing on the Arrowtown golf course, in the Otago region.

A reporter at the scene said it appeared to have nose dived into the bottom of a small hill on the golf course.

The front was pressed into the ground and the tail had snapped and bent backwards about half way down.

Golfers at the course said they did not see the crash, but heard it.

There were emergency services all around the site and firefighters appeared to be extinguishing a fire within the plane.

A policeman confirmed three people were injured.

Fire engines from Arrowtown, Queenstown and Frankton had been called to the crash site and a rescue helicopter from Dunedin is also understood to be on the way.
