Two men have been taken to hospital after a Cirrus SR22T plane crashed into a field.

Emergency services were called to the incident near Hambleton, in the Selby area of North Yorkshire, shortly after 11.50am Saturday morning. 

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "It is believed the aircraft crashed into a field near the end of the runway.

"Two men, the only occupants, had to be recovered by firefighters and paramedics." 

 The spokesman said the more seriously injured man was flown to Leeds General Infirmary by air ambulance.

The other male was taken to the same hospital by conventional ambulance, he said.

Both are thought to have suffered back and pelvic injuries.
