A light aircraft has landed on a main road in Gloucestershire.

The county’s police force said it had received reports after the craft landed on the A419 in Frampton Mansell, some five miles from Stroud.

The incident is said to have taken place at around 4.45pm on Tuesday.

“There were two occupants on board who will be assessed by the ambulance service, and it is understood that no other vehicles were involved,” a spokesperson for the force said.

One witness told Gloucestershire Live that it looked like the plane had “stalled and nose-dived into the main road”.
