TWO people are lucky to be alive after their ultra light plane crashed into a paddock north of the Gold Coast, narrowly avoiding a power pole.
Emergency services rushed to the property on Stapylton Jacobs Well Rd at Jacobs Well after neighbours raised the alarm shortly before 4pm.
The pair, believed to be a married couple, survived the crash. The man received facial injuries and the woman suffered neck pain and bruising.
A Department of Community Safety spokeswoman said they have both been taken to the Princess Alexandra hospital in a stable condition.
Nearby residents described hearing a "big bang" when the plane went down. They said the plane "flipped", coming to rest upside down.
A next-door-neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said the caretaker on her property rushed to the paddock and called triple-0.
"The pilot flew over our property and just missed the power pole and must have been trying to avoid the trees," she said.
"The plane only landed about 10 metres away from our property's boundary in the neighbouring paddock."
"We heard a big bang and that's when we looked out. The plane had flipped and was turned upside down."
"The couple were pretty out of it in shock, really. The husband was walking around the plane."
"They were very lucky."
Police said they would work with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to investigate the cause of the crash.
