Two Victorians dead in Mudgee plane crash

Two people have died after a plane crashed at Mudgee in the NSW's central west today.

The single-engine, two-seater plane crashed in a paddock while coming in to land at Mudgee Airport about 11am.

Paramedics attempted to revive a female passenger, also aged in her 60s, but she died at the scene.
