HARARE, June 19 (Xinhua) -- A light aircraft made a crash landing at an airstrip in northern Zimbabwe Wednesday night, and 10 people escaped, state-owned broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) reported Thursday.
The plane was heading toward a safari spot (a wildlife tourism area) when it made a crash landing, Tengo Mugonapanja, a traditional village leader in the Mbire District of Mashonaland Central Province, was quoted by the ZBC as saying.
The pilot, who appeared "visibly shaken," did not shed any light on the crash, and the plane sustained some damage, the ZBC said.
Mbire, known for its abundant wildlife and natural resources, is a remote, rural district located in the northern part of Zimbabwe.
